I was never encouraged to take risks as I grew up and now I am 61 without achieving any thing of greatness. This stops today thanks to this video.... and I will urge my kids and grandkids to take risks and live life to the fullest.
When did your kids give you permission to force them into the world? Before or after you gave birth to them? You FORCE THE GREATEST RISK - DEATH - EVER onto your kids by BREEDING them.
@naracia ghirga I find your comment disheartening. Imagine how life would be if all were encouraged to take risks and strive for greatness. Even failure has value as long as one learns and one keeps trying. Fall down 7 times but get up 8. I am now 65 and I have put forward as many new ideas as I can. I am getting resistance from the small-minded. I intend to keep pushing forward. If I fail I will keep pushing. Greatness is possible for all who try. We need to beat ourselves up for taking the easy way. We need to resist the idea that most people are not meant for greatness. The greatest fear of the power-elite is that the people will pull themselves out of the hole of mediocrity. Humanity belongs at the pinnacle.
@@theultimatereductionist7592 What are you saying? We are by nature driven to live and reproduce. Were you asked for permission to be forced on the world before you were born? I was not asked... I was just here. And I realize I have a choice. Live to give minimum effort and settle for minimum reward or live for maximum and soar among the eagles. Death is simply part of the cycle. We are born, grow older and die. That has been going on since life began. The real question is. Did you make the world a better place while you were here?
I’m unemployed for 11 months and I have few real prospects. I need to push myself out of my comfort zone to take risks to try to become more successful.
To be honest, my first reaction was to think the cave story was super silly, but these exaggered thoughts like "I´m gonna die" happen every time we feel paralyzing fear. Therefore, I made an effort to empathize with the speaker and then I realized I didn´t feel good about it at first because it reflected a part of me I don´t like and don´t fully accept. In summary, this talk inspired me to rethink what risk actually means to me.
Not all risks worth taking the deception element is hard to find , taking risk on a matter that surrounded by warning signs is suicide/self destruction , but taking a risk on a matter that you dont know whats their and there is no warning signs that would be the risk to take .
Hi Daniel, Thank you for this inspirational video. I have taken many risks in my life. And no shame in telling honestly that, i failed in many. Doing job from last 8 years. Now i think time came to start the second phase of my life by taking some calculated risk after watching your video closely. 😊
It is a wonderful speech. I really appreciate it sir. Honestly, I'm a risk averse person so I'm never willing to take any risks in both my professional life and personal life. From now on, I have motivation and determination to step out of my comfort zone in order to achieve something greater. If there is a failure, it will teach me valuable lessons. Thank you a lot. I'm grateful to you Sir.
Good on you I just come back from a 6000km ride across central America with a motorcycle, and it was my first time ever on a motorcycle, doing it alone, no motorbike knowlege except for how to open the tank. And then I see these 40-50-60 years old men with their new BMW of 1200 parking next to my old 94 Honda 600 that I just got 2 weeks ago for 1000usd. I feel happy for these guys to finally be making one of their ultimate dreams come true but feel sad that they had to wait 30 years to make this come true while I hit the road on my own without knowing what I was doing and I m 25 What I wanna say with this is, just take risks. Honestly just f*cking try at least. As soon as you re not putting yourself in a supid deadly situation, why not giving it a try? And alone if no one can or wants to join. Worst case scenario you ll have the attention of all your friends for months because you ll have so many stories to tell I speak about that in the field of adventure, but it s the same for anything else involving travel or not Just have fun in the end and dont wait to be retired to enjoy your life🔥 yolo as we say lol
I was thinking about my early life. Now mind you I'm 35 years old. The thought was me flying a kite when I was young. I was having fun and it was flying great. I went to let out my string further and I got scared that at the end of the string it wasn't attached so I didn't let it out. I have always played it safe. I have a small construction business but I have always played it safe, the math. I have come to the conclusion that nobody ever makes it playing safe. They may make it but they never reach the real heights. I promise everyone reading this, I'm going to find out how high my kite can fly! I'm done playing safe
Life isn’t worth anything if you never take risks. It isn’t worth anything if you don’t have memories that you can share. The one way to achieve something great in your life is to step outside your boundaries, to take a risk of what you don’t know the outcome. You could easily take a safe job,or you could take your dream job and enjoy every second of it. You could easily watch people having fun, taking risks, enjoying their life, or you could be the one out there making wonderful memories, living a life you won’t ever forget. It’s all up to Y͟o͟u͟ to decide. some people might die one day with nothing special to remember, and some people might die doing what they love, holding memories of the crazy and fun things they did in life. The easy way in life is to play it safe, but sometimes, it’s better to not play it safe and to do what your gut tells you to do. Don’t be afraid of failure, be afraid of never knowing wether you would’ve f͟a͟i͟l͟e͟d͟ ͟o͟r͟ ͟s͟u͟c͟c͟e͟e͟d͟e͟d͟.͟
An alternative to risks is to consider running experiments. Set a time limit, that is the best part, accept failures. Failures will break your current way of thinking and will force you to think differently. And then you will live differently. Stay disciplined when running experiments! Be a better tortoise, not a hare.
I agree. I tell people im close to after ive done the deed. Usually it is the closest to us that holds us back the most because it means redefining how we look in their eyes.
I want to make a relationship work with this guy but he’s moving to a different school in a couple of months. I’m confused wether I should take a risk or not
I say take the risk because, at worst, nothing happens (which is already true), and at best, you may fall in love with him and have something special, even if it's only temporary. I know this comment is four years overdue, but for all the people out there, take that risk.
So rich guy essentially goes cave climbing/spelunking, and is about to "die", and somehow records himself without screaming or crying and makes an instagramable video of " I'm tired, and I have a lot to climb, watch me overcome!" If he really felt he was dying he would have made a message for his loved ones, or called the authorities, or made some kind of final will/message. He didn't.

Death isnt a risk, its a certainty.
Also being able to have kids is a basic human right, are you asserting that he shouldnt be allowed to?
beautiful

Common sense : if the risk might get you seriously injured , death , huge losses in money then it’s a foolish risk . Great Ted talk

Taking risks and actually getting a leverage / reward is the best feeling in life
I’ve had a “safe” job for about 3 years and I got an offer at a better job, however it’ll be a challenge for me. I’ve decided to take it :)
Would like to finish the story?
Yes can you updatee
Ive had a safe job for 7 years and got a job offer and the company is smaller
@@Rave_believe the company I went to is much bigger, but I exceeded expectations and am now heavily relied on to support other departments.

People are willing to gamble but not willing to take risks. There’s a difference
Always do the things that u hate.
That's why I tell all conservatives to vote Green Party. More power to us Greens.
And the conservatives hate it.
I think you mean Do the thing you fear... I hate setting people on fire so i'm sure you don't want me to do that.
Glad I saw ur video. I am taking a big risk tom.. stepping away out of my comfort zone. I hope it's worth it.
Hope you achieve all that u dreamed for!!

Thank u 😊

thumbs up great brother and dad you got there mate
how do I convince my parents at least not to discourage me when I come upon risks-taking, skydiving specifically
i just don't tell em until right before ;)
I agree. I tell people im close to after ive done the deed. Usually it is the closest to us that holds us back the most because it means redefining how we look in their eyes.
Uma linda história, muito obrigado. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
masters at 23! damn.
i feel the more privileged you are, the easier it is for you to take risks.
I think that's true, the stakes are less
Sometimes
I love this! 👏
Great talk
You will start your MBA soon and you are talking about risks!?
🦅💯
Loved it!
Hey Max, Read the comment below from David Lyttle. YOU, my dear, have someone giving you a big push to risk! LOL. You can do it.
I want to make a relationship work with this guy but he’s moving to a different school in a couple of months. I’m confused wether I should take a risk or not
If he’s worth it then do it
He may move away but you’ll meet up one day if it’s meant to be
