humans make mistakes and it is almost impossible to completely eliminate them from life but for you what would be more painful

1. you take a risk but it ends in a loss or;
2. you play safe but after time you see that you could have made profit if you took that leap


the first one could be more painful because you lose some money after believing that you could have find success in engaging in a specific project but the second one could also be more painful because you will be plagued with what if's but at least you would not have lost some money you just simply did not gain anything

what decision would be harder to live with?
Between the two, the most painful is option number two in my opinion. Because sometimes opportunities do not come a second time, and there will be a sense of regret for not daring to try. Usually this regret will always be felt throughout our lives in the future.

So I will choose number one, which is high risk and ready for losses. because we dare to get out of our comfort zone even though we lose everything. Because when we have a risk, we can try to minimize it. If a bad risk occurs, it does make us a little traumatized and it takes a lot of energy to be able to get back up and try again. This means that at least we have more knowledge and experience. Because by taking risks there will be two choices, namely success / failure. While not daring to take risks will stagnate.
