Conventional is a good fallback position...

Conventional is a good fallback position. By this we mean that it is always good playing it safe.

Yes, it may be a good fallback, but in life, one needs to challenge and be challenged in order to grow as a person and succeed in life.

Playing it safe can only get one so far. Taking risks is what gets people somewhere in life. You feel like you've accomplished something when a risk you have taken works out better than you hoped and expected.

Of course some risks don't work out. But from these failed risks, one learns more about himself and become a stronger person for the better.

Taking risks is scary and exciting. Not knowing what is going to happen in the future, opens up a whole pool full of emotions, expectations, and realisations.

Me, personally, am a bit scared when it comes to taking risks, but know that I will have to make and take them. It is part of growing up and living. Most things in life are about taking a risk. Little things such as driving on the road, or even eating at a specific restaurant, is taking a risk. Everything, in life, comes with risks. We just have to be brave enough to take them.
