Nothing ventured, nothing gained
When considering whether to take risks
Understanding the Rule
Achieving anything worthwhile requires taking some risk. Playing it completely safe guarantees missing opportunities. No investment means no returns.
What Happens When You Break It
Refusing all risk means perpetual stagnation, missed opportunities, unfulfilled potential, watching others succeed, and a life of regret over chances not taken.
Benefits of Following This Rule
Calculated risk-taking creates opportunities, enables growth, generates returns, builds experience, develops courage, and makes meaningful achievement possible.
