“a strategy game to rule the world”
My definition? Doing something that has a pretty good chance at failing.
I started my own business, then sold my first company to someone I took on as a partner. I did that due to my health and then decided to start again, as a consultant and it’s been pretty successful, so far.
To me risk = anything that involves taking a chance at losing something whether it be money, time, possessions, life, whatever
Something for you to do or agree with that, should it fail, has bad consequences for you or someone you care about.
In all seriousness it is opening my photography studio soon. Even in this economy.
@willbrawn Best of luck mate! Your doing what a lot of people should be, moving forward!
GO WILLBRAWN
Taking chances, tempting fate, venturing outside of your safety zone, trying new things, being adventurous, facing your fears, living on the edge.
There’s a good story about a college applicant who had to write the essay portion of his application. The essay instruction was “Define risk.”
The student wrote in giant letters “THIS IS RISK.”
Sometimes it’s the only way you can get what you really want.
Ok, not really a definition, but think of the reward!
some probability of danger
@kevinhardy What’s your definition of sweet?
I’ve played it and I wouldn’t go that far with the description. I would consider Stratego closer to being sweet than I would Risk.
its a great strategy board game
Risk is the perceived likelihood of something happening that is perceived as dangerous. Therefore, rather subjective in my opinion.
