Risk is a part of life 生活是一场冒险

Risks are a part of all our lives. Some you take, some you don't. Actually, any decision you make has an element of risk. Nothing comes with a full warranty. Whenever you attempt to do anything, failure is a possibility.

风险，是我们人生的一部分。有些风险是你会去承担的，有些则不然。实际上，你做的每个决定，都包含了风险，没有什么事情是保证万无一失的。每当你尝试做一件事，你都可能会失败。

However, there are certain risks worth taking that can contribute significantly to your happiness. So, here are some risks you should definitely take in life!

然而，有些风险是值得你去承担的，它们能让你变得更幸福。那么，接下来将要介绍给你的，就是一些人生中你应该承担的风险。

Number 1 - Pursuing Your Dreams.

第一，追寻你的梦想。

Sure, many people have followed their dreams with passion, only to experience complete failure. What's even more tragic, however, is that most people never risk really pursuing their dreams.

确实，很多人满怀热情地追寻梦想，到头来却彻底失败了。然而，更悲哀的是，有些人从来不敢冒险去追求自己的梦想。

Everyone should make a serious attempt to realize their dreams at least once in life. After all, you don't want to find yourself sitting somewhere, old and decrepit, and have to ask yourself. What if I had done it? What kind of life could I have had?

在人生中，每个人都应该认真地去追逐自己的梦想，至少要有一次这样的经历。毕竟，你可不想在白发苍苍时才回头问自己，如果当初我实现了梦想呢？我的人生会是什么样的？

Number 2 - Risk Rejection.

第二，承担被拒绝的风险。

The reason we get rejected usually has much more to do with the person who turned us down than with us. Regardless of what's at stake – whether you ask someone out on a date or just want a bit of advice – there will be some people that just won't comply with your wishes.

我们被拒绝，更多地是因为拒绝我们那个人，而不是因为我们自己有问题。不管是什么事，比如你想与某人约会，或者想得到一点建议，总会有人不如你愿。

The fear of rejection is what keeps many people from asking for what they want. It often seems better not to ask at all than risk a NO. Yet, if you don't even ask, how can you expect to get a YES.

很多人不敢去索要自己想要的东西，因为他们害怕被拒绝。貌似，与其被拒绝，还不如不要开口问。然而，如果你连问都不敢问，那你就别指望人家答应你了。

And if you have that within you, you'll achieve whatever you choose. Nothing will be different until you think differently. Nothing will be different until we think differently.

如果你有这样的想法，那么你会实现任何你想实现的东西。只有改变心态，你才能改变事态。只有改变心态，我们才能改变事态。
