Chapter 9 Risk

Be willing to take the Big Risk

"Getting out of the zone requires, first, recognizing the danger and, second, taking the risk of doing things differently- of reinventing the business."

"Unnecessary risks should be avoided, but there are times for bold moves. Understand the moves you face and evaluate them carefully."

When we are doing something new, there is always a risk. I think the most thing that makes us willing to take the big risk is courage. With no courage, nobody can challenge new things.
Talking about myself, I have took a big risk.

It was a big decision to make whether to go skiing or not for this week because I have lots of exams and papers to do. If we go skiing this weekend it means that are work plan with get tough and it will be hard for me to catch up with others. When deciding to challenge the risk or avoid the risk, I always choose the way which I will not regret afterwards. This is how I make a decision.

The biggest problem is that now, I am taking the biggest risk.

During the ski this weekend, I got an injury which is a ligament injury (in Japanese"靭帯損傷"). 

I had really fun but at the end, I crashed and got this injury.
I am using crutches to walk and this is really difficult. It is hard to do almost everything and as I have never had this kind of experience. So please help me when you see me in the campus.

What I first thought was about my soccer team. As lots of you know, I love playing soccer and I have always participated the practice and the games. This injury means that I cannot play soccer for a long while. This is a big risk for me, but I am only thinking about the way to recovery and I want to focus on that.
