Risk... One of those words in the English language that most people do not like to hear or encounter, yet one of those words that is a part and parcel of almost everything and anything that we do in life. Yes, whether we are making a decision of yes or no about something, whether we are choosing one option over another, whether it is about how to do a task or how to behave in a relationship, every single action entails a certain factor of risk in it.
Sometimes, this risk can be low, so low that we do not evaluate the consequences of the risk; sometimes it is so high that we tend to take weeks or maybe months before we choose and take steps forward. Sometimes, this risk is well-known and already encountered and accepted easily, and sometimes this risk is new and perceived as dangerous enough to give it a stronger consideration. Either way (Figure 1), the risk always does exist.
So, how do we decide whether to take the plunge? The answer sometimes can be very simple. The answer many times is in the question. Now, let us see how remembering RISK helps to take the appropriate amount and type of risk.
