<br>
I certainly cannot agree with you more that it is necessary to be
careful, that it is better to be safe than sorry.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, in this article <a
href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/margiewarrell/2013/06/18/take-a-risk-the-odds-are-better-than-you-think/">http://www.forbes.com/sites/margiewarrell/2013/06/18/take-a-risk-the-odds-are-better-than-you-think/</a>
Margie Warrell writes that: "We over-estimate the probability of
something going wrong."<br>
<br>
She continues: "We exaggerate the consequences of what might
happen if it does go wrong. ... We under estimate our ability to
handle the consequences of risk. ... We discount or deny the cost
of inaction, and sticking with the status quo. "<br>
<br>
I understood from the article that in her opinion there could be a
risk in not taking one, in being too cautious.<br>
