I love the idea that playing it safe is a risk. It’s as counterintuitive as it is true. If you don’t believe me, ask Oprah.

I believe that one of life’s greatest risks is never daring to risk … Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time.

Oprah Winfrey

It takes risk to build your confidence, to come back from hearing “no”, to surf a 100-foot wave, to land a rover on Mars, and scariest of all, to let your kids grow up.
