You can't avoid risk - but that doesn't mean you should take risks on
purpose just for the hell of it. I mean, hey, I could go fill the house
with gas and then fick the light switches a few times. I mean, it
*might* not explode, right?
There's something to be said for taking risks sometimes, but the risk
has to be worth it. Risking what tiny splinter of self-confidence I
still have left on a venture which is virtually guaranteed to fail is
not a worthwhile risk.
