Taking Risks

I was reading a quote on this site that was saying something about taking risks, and I came to this conclusion. If the only way to achieve something is by taking a risk, then by choosing not to take a risk, you are essentially risking the fact that you may not get anywhere in life. So really, whether you try to or not, life involves risk taking. So really, why not take a purposeful risk and see were it gets you? Well, as we all know, that is much easier said than done.
