The two sides of a risk

in HiveGhana6 days ago

Greetings everyone, I'm glad to participate in this hiveghana weekly prompt “Risks”

Life on it own is a risk and to take a risk it's a difficult step in this life, and for someone to achieve his/her goals in this life you must take a risk, let's look all the billionaire in this world if you hear their story very you will know that must of them takes a risk, for you to become somebody you must take a risk.

I remember when I was in school many years back and one of my close friend came to me that he has a good business opportunities for me, I was so happy because I love anything business and I ask him that what kind of business is that and he told me that it's forex trade my mind was shake because I don't like the way people talk about forex and he told me that it's a legit business that I should take risk and I accept with him because he told me that alot money is there, and all the money I have in my account by that time is “2 hundred thousand naira” and that money it for my school fees that my brother sent to me and our school portal will close very soon that time but my told me that before our portal close I would have seen my money back, and I put all money on forex but keep all the story short forex swallow all the money and when friend hear that the money has gone he ran away from me I can't believe that survive when the stuff happens but I thank God keep me alive because that have try to poison myself because there's no hope again, that's the first risk I ever takes in my life.

Another risk I have take after the forex have jam me, it happens that in community we usually contribute money for the development of community and I'm the person that collect the money, one day my brother in-law advice me that all this community contributions that have keeping for bank for some months why shouldn't make use of it to do business, and I replied him that I can't risk that and I told him about what have been through with forex and he told me that is matter that I have taken this a last chance, and I asked him that what kind of business I can use this money to do and he replied that I should use it to buy shares from company and I replied him that I love the idea but this is not my money that I don't want trouble with our community and he told me that should take a risk and to cut the story short I follow the advice to take the risk of buying shares and this risk is what has changed my life completely.

Seriously you trying to take another risk after being defeated by the previous one show you to be a man of courage. Thanks for sharing.

Forex traders are the real risk takers. Mind sharing what company you bought shares from?

Wow, you really tried taking another risk again, after that last one that burnt you, well every biggest name or company today take risk calculated risk though... @marrying this is a very insightful topic
