RE: I am me: #5 - Willing to try

It also depends on the area of the risk. I try not to take risks with my health and other parts of life I can't control well enough to balance out later. Materialistic things come and go. Most people come and go. So, taking a risk in that is easier to manage.

If the chance of success is 50%, it doesn't mean the rate is that, too. As I mentioned, I'm pretty good in turning something into a success. Even if I end up on the loosing side, I can still make something out of it - at the least, a lessons learned.

It depends on many factors, more than we could count and list.

As for for, making things a success, every failure I've had has been a success because I learned something that helped me lean into the next thing more confidently. That's the success that comes from failure. I learned something from almost killing myself during the stunt I mention above, a lesson that almost 50 years later stays with me. I'd call that a huge success.

Exactly. And that capacity of recognizing failure, owning it and learning from it is fading very quickly.
