There’s competition for good opportunities. And because of that, if you can intelligently take on risk, you will find opportunities others miss.

If you don’t have to seriously think about the risk involved in a career opportunity, it’s probably not the breakout opportunity you’re looking for.

Rather than avoiding risk, if you take intelligent risks, it will give you a competitive edge.

To lead a big and vigorous life, you must work to overcome this negativity bias… remind yourself that the downside of a given situation is probably not as bad, or as likely, as it seems.

…the more compelling and complex the opportunity, the more uncertainty tends to surround it.

Don’t let uncertainty lull you into overestimating the risk.

Fragility is the price we pay for a hyperlinked world where all the slack is optimized out of the system.

By introducing regular volatility into your career, you make surprise survivable.

When you’re resilient, you can play for big opportunities with less worry about the possible consequences of unanticipated hiccups.

For the start-up of you, the only long-term answer to risk is resilience. Remember: If you don’t find risk, risk will find you.
