Rational thinking is the way to milk a risk that pays well, on the good the risks brings you, on the contrary to good things the risks bring you and all of the objective trimmings that go with it. However, to use risk productively, you must look at all situations with cold objectivity, logic and honesty. In light of that, this will be an easy to read and apply article with enough words to give it good, useful meat and potatoes advice. Sure, inert advice tells you to take the wildest risks possible. Good, workable advice tells you to take the risk with the most sure return on investment. The good, workable advice is the advice this article will give.

Winners only take rational risks that do have good returns on investment in the long run and sometimes long run and short run combined.

What counts is what rationally counts as success and that requires a certain amount of “imperfection” and risk. In fact, the ultimate imperfection is the concept of risk, so get “perfect” out of your mind and achieve the kind of success I am talking about. The only concept of perfection that genuinely counts in fact is when you do succeed and come in “in the black” or get past the gauntlet of failure. That is the secret, that is the goal. Nothing succeeds like success. Read the rest of this entry »
