It has been said that all successful people, especially those in business, take big risks. It is also said that those who fear to take risks (risk-averse) may achieve quite little. The latter category of people have been accused of simply attempting to deny reality because every aspect of life is a risk or involves risk-taking.
Some businessman once advised that it is good to take a risk if the possible benefit of the venture taken is several times higher than the cost of the possible loss. That way, he commits himself knowing that if he lost, it would be something relatively little compared to if he won (if he won, he would 'win big'). He however points out that from every business deal he makes (those that work and those that do not), he learns lessons hence there is no absolute loss after all.
Bishop T.D. Jakes presents an aspect of risk-taking that is so often ignored. Jakes said, “I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't God and die to find out there is.”
So which risk would you rather take? To live as though God exists or to live as if He does not exist? Well, the choice is yours and yours alone.
