“If things seem under control, you are just not going fast enough.”
Mario Andretti
“Playing safe is very risky.”
Seth Godin
Of course, we all need a sense of stability and being grounded in our lives. On the other hand, if things are too safe, too predictable, then perhaps you are not challenging yourself enough.
Playing the stock market can indeed be risky but consistently over long periods of time (meaning several years to decades), it has continually expanded and rewarded smart investors.
Your money might be 100% safe in a federally insured savings account with a low rate of return (or well-hidden in your mattress), but you will receive the tiniest possible interest rather than what you might be accumulating in riskier venues.
This is also why almost every financial analyst recommends a diversified portfolio. It reduces risks considerably not to “put all your eggs in one basket” as the proverb advises, but it also means that you have some areas where you might enjoy a more dramatic return.
Can you see the dangers of being too safe, of missing opportunities? At Apex Filling systems we specialize in results. At times getting the results you or your customer needs means taking a risk.
Have you done this in your own life when it comes to Money or other aspects of your Life?
Is this just clever wordplay or can playing safe indeed be considered very risky?
