As long as that risk is not a risk that will ruin you or any part of your life if it fails, you can go ahead and take the risk. That is why it's not advisable to idolise what people do without knowing the context.
For example, you can hear a person say he took a risk of $1 million, and it paid off for him. That can inspire you to take more risks, but you fail to see that the person you're taking inspiration from was worth way more than a million dollars, and if the risk had backfired, he would have been perfectly fine. Meanwhile, if you $10k, you will be in a lot of trouble.

I agree that we need to know our limits. We can't do what others do, and that is why gambling is only for adults. It is assumed that as an adult, you have what it takes to make decisions for yourself.
