Risky Business

“Playing it safe isn’t interesting. Being superficial isn’t interesting. Authenticity is interesting. Passion is interesting. Authentic human tragedy and comedy are interesting.” Annette states. I agree.
Age affords a new sense of boldness. You have hopefully learned by then that risk can pay off. So without spoiling my personal “just ask” stories to tell here is what can happen if you just ask. Ross Perot had two college students sitting before him at a desk. They had mustered the courage to ask him to donate $250,000 to their cause. Half of what they hoped to raise. Ross said very little as he listened. He then began to write a check and handed the happy young men a check for the full amount. The students were amazed and grateful. Then Ross spoke, “let that be a lesson to you”. They looked perplexed. He continued, “if you would have asked for the whole amount, I would have given it to you.”.
Let's risk more, sometimes it has a nice pay off.
