Live As Though You Cannot Fail

Several years ago, I read an excellent book on the subject of risk-taking. It was entitled "The Young Millionaires", and it contained the true-life stories of eighteen individuals, each of whom had earned in excess of one million dollars. In fact, some of these people had actually earned many millions of dollars, over and above the one million dollar mark, during the course of their highly successful careers. Throughout the book, the author made many interesting observations about the "law of financial success", but the most important one, was the one which he kept coming back to: namely, although these individuals came from a variety of different backgrounds, and although each had earned their money in a different way, they all shared one thing in common.

"What was that one thing?" you ask. Simply put it was this - even though everything they owned was riding on the outcome of virtually every major business decision which they made, none of them considered themselves to be taking "risks". The reason they didn't, he went on to explain, was because they were living their lives, "as though it were impossible to fail!"
