It is better to be safe and not take risks. How far is this true?

Everyone faces a lot of problems and challenges in life everyday. We have to take responsible decisions in order handle the problems. Sometimes, we may have to take risks, however we should be always think twice before taking any risks. I feel we should take risks because we have to handle our challenges in life.

Many people tend to stay on the safe side because they fear about losing. I feel they should take both success and failure equally. Adding to that, they should be courageous to take risks. There are some smart people who know that taking some risks may lead failure. It is wise to be safe but we should take risks in order to reach a higher level in life.

There are also people who take a lot of risks in life. It could be a thrill to some people. I am not saying we should take all the risks but we should not be afraid to take risks which are within our ability. For example, we are offered a job which has high income. We should take up the job if it is within our ability without fearing about the complications of the job. All I wish to say is we should take some risks in life.
