Higher Risk & Higher Return vs Lower Risk & Lower Return
All the people want their returns to be high while their risks are lower than what they want. I recently figured out that it’s impossible; it just shows how humans are lazy. If we want our returns to be high, we need to put more inputs on it, while expecting to have a higher risks. In contrast, it means that if we’re too worried about risks, we’ll need to have a less returns coming back. Among these two choices, I choose to have a higher risk and higher return.
While higher risk at least have a possibility to have a huge amount of return, which is normally money, people who choose to have a lower risk doesn’t. I think the only return they’re receiving is a relief of staying stable. I would rather believe on a potential than relief. Relief may end in a short time, but potential is what we reach.
I’m the type of person who thinks that trying on new things is interesting even though we fail. I don’t think failing is bad. Even Thomas Edison, who had made a huge difference in human life by inventing, said “I have not failed. I’ve just find 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Failing is a great way to develop ourselves, and we need to challenge without being afraid to fail. Having a lower risk and return just seems to be escaping to me. We need to try to face the difficulty instead of avoiding it.
These are the reasons why I would like to have a higher risk and return. Higher risk and return gives us a possibility to succeed, and even though we fail, I believe that it’s a one step to develop ourselves. I’m not saying that lower risk and return is bad. I think it’s all about one’s personality. So, which side are you on?
