Perhaps one of the ways we fail in life is when we play it too safe.

Certainly there are some situations in playing it safe is a good idea; when it comes to life or death situations. But for most other things in life, assuming it is not a life or death situation, do the more unorthodox, risky route. I think you’ll be happier, more energized, more successful?

I think also when it comes to our consumerist behaviors; there are certain things that one can do which literally takes no skill or courage. For example buying a new Porsche 911… So boring, played out, and obvious? If you get a new 911, truth be told nobody would really fault you for it, but it is the almost too obvious, too much of the safe bet to try to be “cool”?
