Absolutely, totally & positively!
I think it's important to include the "ventures" we make on the inside. (Not just business ventures, money, meeting people & tangible things.) Your question is very straight forward; if you venture nothing, you'll gain nothing.
This is in philosophy, so I'm not going to wander off into "losses" from ventures.
To "venture" is the intention or hope of obtaining a satisfactory outcome. If we didn't venture, I rather think we'd all be "lumps."

I agree. Although Richard Nixon was villified during the late 70's, he actually made some landmark inroads to China and help bring the eventual downfall of Communism. His mantra was "Better to try and fail then fail to try." I agree with that because I have actually gone through that myself.

Now this concept does not apply to all ventures. As an example, I would not condone a married man attempting to seduce an unmarried person. Aside from that, one has to give all the concerns to God and venture out and accomplish great things.

Good luck.

my dad met mom by sitting at home doing nothing, he gave trying to find a woman, and then my aunt comes to the house with my mom

if my dad had ventured that night, he might never had met my mom

but for some people they have to venture out into the world, others can just sit back and things will just happen for them

There is another side to this subject as well. Sometimes, it is "nothing ventured, nothing lost." Ask any number of individuals who have suffered failed businesses or broken marriages after either starting businesses while having poor business acumen or who married persons they should not have married against the advice of their friends or relatives. Sometimes, we avoid losing precious things by not venturing anything.

Yes, I agree!

In life we have to place ourselves in a position to gain, that means we have to venture sometimes far from what we are accustomed to and sometimes far from our comfort zone in order to make gains.

One has to take risks with money in order to make gains in finacial terms. Its the same for all personal matters. If you never meet people, you'll never meet any great and wonderful friends. If you never apply for that job you really want of course you'll not get it. If you don't apply yourself at college you'll not get the diploma or degree.

yes i believe in this. if u do not start up how can u go into it...how can u gain?? for example if u are given a business empire tommorow for you to rule u would have to venture into it after receiving the offer, you have to nurture it. so u definitely have to venture the time for starting out is more controversial...especially if u believe in faith.

Not entirely. One may gain resentment and/or guilt as a result of not venturing just as much one may lose the opportunity to gain by not venturing.

I agree.
Even something as High as Salvation had to have God venture out to become a man to redeem us. EVen for us to receive this salvation we need to venture out to receive it.

Good Q

Taking that statement literally if you venture at nothing at all, you will only gain death by starvation. So, I guess the statement is in fact wrong. If you venture at nothing, you gain the pain and death of starvation.

You can say that, but even if you don't know "you don't know it", makes you still lost something in a sense. As they say, better to try and lost than not trying at all. Because if one has not tried, then eventually, the perpetual question of whether you would have succeeded if you tried, will haunt you for the rest of your life.
