In Take the Risk ,Dr. Ben Carson,professor of neurosurgery,plastic surgery,oncology and peaditrics described his involvement in a medical marathon surgery aimed at seperating a craniopagus ,iranian twin, laden and laleh. They were cojoined in the head for 29 years. They had different life aspirations and temperaments,and cannot do anything seperately.They couldnt lead individual lives. You can imagine the agony of this involuntary and perpetual attachment.With an informed consent,they opted for an unprecedented and risky surgery,damned dreadful consequences rather than remaining trapped together. In fact,they risked death just to pursue their different life aspirations. The world-renowned medical experts from different parts of the globe courageously and optimistically ventured into this risky but freeing and life-enhancing surgical odyssey, in Raffles Hospital in singapore. They failed after 53hrs of tedious and nerve wrecking surgey. The twins died. The medical team were the best,the high risks involved were very clear to the dead patients,necessary precautions were taken,sophicated equipment were available. Many dissuaded both the twins and the medical team, but they gave it a trial since the probability of success to failure is 50/50. The desire to pursue their different life aspirations worth any risk. THIS PATHETIC NARRATION UNDERSCORES THE WISDOM OF TRYING AND RISKING REASONABLY. You may have wonderful aspirations but crippled by fear and pessimism. Avoiding risk is like living in a tunnel,an enveloped life.Brave it,give your aspiration a trial even when chances of success is slim. Fear cripples and cages. Life is about choosing and living with acceptable and reasonable risks. If you do not risk you cannot achieve. Even to live is to risk dying,to love is to risk heartbreak and rejection. In our Risk-avoidance culture,we place much premium on safety,comfort zones,we secure our jobs,reputation e.t.c. When we insulate ourselves from risk we fail to explore the full potentials of our lives. To attain great heights/achievements you must take great risks. Do not settle for mediocrity. Climb out of your comforts zone and aspire courageously and optimistically. Dream big, it has no price tag. Aim high and move with confidence. Thomas Edison produced lightbulb at the 1000th attempt,so he failed 999 times. Do not despair,the last key in the bunch may open the door.
