Answer 1

I think risks need to be taken for knowing who you are. If you never take any risks at all, you never know yourself.
Of course by taking risk, you are susceptible to make mistakes, that's super normal. But to me; live, learning, making mistakes and taking risks are important to mold you to be the person you are today. I take risks all the time. Even I'm afraid like you, I don't care for the mistakes that might come afterwards, I just took lessons from it. Even when we don't take risks we've already made mistakes in every ways. So what's the different?
Even I have so many regrets, but it's okay... I regret and apologize for some little things only , not for all things.
From your mistakes, there is always a lesson to be learned. And you keep it as your guide for your next step. As simple as that.

No Risk, NO GAIN, I've had many jobs, some paying a lot more than the present one but, I like this job, I'm outside, and I now have normal hours, and weekends off. I'm much happier, If I didn't take the risk, I'd still be miserable, follow your dream, stay on it like "Ugly on an Ape", and you'll succeed, determination is the key " How bad do I want it ? what sacrifices am I willing to make to get it, never let ANYONE shatter your dreams, this is especially important for children, don't break a good kid's "SPIRIT", I was terrible as a student in school, I couldn't get things right, ever, as an adult I was in a class working on a project, we had to make knots (Coast Guard class), the way I made the knot was backwards to everyone Else's way but, the end result was the same, I heard the teacher's saying "He does everything backwards to what we show him", one of the other teacher's said "That's alright, he just has a different way of problem solving from everyone else, he does things backwards but the result is the same, or in some cases better", I suddenly realized that this was my stumbling block in life, it's OK though, I'll survive !

Answer 3

sounds to me like there is more going on here than the original question states.

It looks as if you have learnt at some point that failing is bad, trying things out even if you don't succeed is bad, and that you are not good enough and need to constantly improve yourself.

I would suggest that if you can deal with these underlying problems the others will be easier to resolve, or will disappear completely.

If you are not careful you will be constantly chasing some dream of a 'complete and perfect' you, and will become disatisfied as a result.

Answer 4

Changing life for the better, yes, it's everyone concerns. You cannot attain success without taking risks. Learn to live ang love your work, you have all the chances of improving yourself; learning is not a one was stop, it is a never ending tasks, everyday you learn new things... and it is worthwhile to take all the risks in your life.

Answer 5

I had kind'a similar situation to this, after 1 year of work , feeling , that that it is enough for me... i suggest, to stay there for another 2-3 month , meanwhile trying to look for anouther job and improving your language skills.and hey, dont be afraid of risks, as well as failures, its just an expriance in your life, which makes you wiser. i think you may be forgot, that you've given life only once, so whatever you do you should saty positive and live it up!
Hope it helps, cheers

i know how it feels to have to make decisions by your self, i have never liked the fact that one day i would have to make my own decisions, now that my husband has pasted. i have to just do the best i know how..
i say go ahead make some risks, it's OK. as long as your not braking the law.
and now that i am alone i have to say. i haven't made any bad ones yet. i never ever believed in taking a risk. to live a little on the wild side. but i do now.
just make sure when you made a decision, take your time think about it. first.

Answer 7

I had very difficult relationships until the point that I depressed myself a lot but now of going by all that I have found the love of my life. the one on the way to the love is very difficult and painful but when one finds the correct person, to the person that you have always looked for the road the road it becomes easier of taking since you have the company of a person that will always be with you sorry my English is not very good

Answer 8
