RISK: Is It Truly Worth It?

Ever heard of "Experience is the best teacher?" definitely everyone of us didn't just hear it, but actually lived it, I will always say it, life is structured in such an amazing way that no one knows it all, like everyday we learn what is, is now what was, no Nothing remains stagnant, change is only constant because it's aways occurring and it must occur for there to be a balance.

in one way or another every one of us atleast to this level of maturity must have encountered Risk in life especially around finance and business, this is not to include all the numerous scams that have taught us lessons especially during the advent of crypto, I have been slammed numerous times that I can say I have learned my lessons over and over again not to just trust anything randomly like that anymore....

but the Risk that taught me the biggest lesson of my life happened two years ago, when someone approached me to set up and managed a business for him,

you know basically everyone who ever attempted any risk was first presented with a bait, something to lure you in, it's like seeing an amazing thriller of a movie that captivate you and you're so eager to see this movie, so first of all you're presented with something that buys your mind for it and without getting to know the full story get in only to realise that the movie wasn't so interesting as it was hyped.

for for a moment I was really contemplating will it be worth it, this was my last cash and seeing this promising opportunity to invest this money into this business which will inturn generate a revenue on daily basis with enough potential to cover up the cost and bring in enough profit.

it was one that I really gave a deep thought about, would this risk be worth it, if I spend this money on will I be able to recover it after much deliberation and deep thought I finally gave in and made the purchase.

business was going on well untill a moment where issues began coming in and the owner ended up seizing everything including the equipment I had invested in.

I had invest so much of my funds in it that I went into debt as a result of that, in general I learnt my lessons especially when it comes to business every details of it has to be thoroughly analyze with care so as to not fall victims of people's ploy cause one thing I have learnt in life is that people do have ulterior motives to whatever they do, secondly never to trust people blindly, trust but never 💯 🤷 if not you'd crash like a mountain of rock and have your hope dashed ....

they say no pain no gain, they say failure is a necessary ingredient in success, the say no story no glory, I have had an ugly experiences in the past especially when its around finance and trusting people but then again like i said experience will teach you better but the most important aspect of that lesson is what moral lesson you take out at the end of the day.

Experience would teach you better ways to go about your dealings everyday. Either with people or in business or wherever. It's sad you had to learn the wrong way and lose funds. But in the end, taking that risk also taught you something valuable.
