And when I was saying I want to become number one of the world and I was 7, 8 years old, most of the people were laughing to me. Because you know, it seemed like I have one percent chances to do that. And I’ve done it.
Luck marches with those who give their very best.
I fear the boredom that comes with not learning and not taking chances.
I do think taking the 20s to take the most chances you can is important, because you’re not going to hurt anyone else during that time. And if you do have a partner, you need a couple years to rehearse that relationship.
If you know you can do it – if you can already chart every day in your future – then why bother? Choose to do something you have more trouble imagining. Take a chance.
Necessity is the mother of taking chances.
The man who is intent on making the most of his opportunities is too busy to bother about luck.
There is no such thing as luck. It’s a fancy name for being always at our duty, and so sure to be ready when good time comes.
If someone is always to blame, if every time something goes wrong someone has to be punished, people quickly stop taking risks. Without risks, there can’t be breakthroughs.
Some campaigns are not worth waging if you can’t win; others have to be fought on grounds of principle regardless of the chances for success.
However well organized the foundations of life may be, life must always be full of risks.
Living is risking.
Luck, that’s when preparation and opportunity meet.
Every business and every product has risks. You can’t get around it.
It is not like I have gone crazy, I just don’t want to take any chances. You never know what could happen.
I have the freedom to take chances, to say no. I have the freedom to be who I really want to be, rather than have to conform to this or that just to stay alive.
Great risks come in long term, tremendously assiduous, very courageous study.
I take risks – that’s my life on the slopes and off.
But we also believe in taking risks, because that’s how you move things along.
I like entrepreneurial people; I like people who take risks.
Sometimes I wake up in the morning and feel like going straight back to bed. But I still have to get up and work, and I still have to take advantage of the chances I’ve been given in life.
I prefer to be alive, so I’m cautious about taking risks.
When the phone started ringing too many times, I had to take it back to what I can handle. I take my chances on a job or a person as opposed to a situation. I don’t like to have a situation placed over my head.
I lucked out when I started to sing. I’d already experienced failing at everything else.
It’s luck that one thing works out and one doesn’t, it’s sort of happenstance.
