To CREATE an organization that's adaptable and innovative, PEOPLE need the freedom to challenge precedent, to 'waste' time, to go outside of channels, to experiment, to TAKE risks and to follow their passions.

Because of my own experience with MARKET fluctuation, I RECOGNIZE the great risks one takes on investments. This converts the Social SECURITY safety net into a RISKY proposition many cannot AFFORD to take.

I LOVE LADY Gaga. She's not AFRAID to TAKE RISKS and be herself.

Lest those islands still seem to you too REMOTE in space and time to be RELEVANT to our modern SOCIETIES, just THINK about the risks... of our increasing globalization and increasing WORLDWIDE economic interdependence.

Women TAKE fewer financial RISKS than men do, but not because we're wusses. Both sexes secrete the hormone oxytocin in STRESSFUL SITUATIONS, but women secrete more of it, which HELPS us stay calmer.

I never tried to pigeonhole myself. I've been willing to take risks and try doing THINGS like reality TV with 'The BACHELOR' or Food Network or 'Good Morning America.'

South Dakota was a place where you could TAKE RISKS. You could BREAK barriers and GET away with it.

We've got some real GREEDY hogs who own no interest in the company they're RUNNING, whose sole interest is in WHATEVER it TAKES to be able to get to the point to fly out on their GOLDEN parachute and milk the shareholder and take risks that they shouldn't take.

When a PRESIDENT MAKES life and death decisions, he should draw strength and wisdom from broad and DEEP experience with the reasons for and the risks of committing our children to our defense. For no matter how many OTHERS are involved in the decision, the president is a lonely man in a dark room when the casualty reports come in.

Virender Sehwag can TEAR any ATTACK APART. He is audacious, TAKES risks and has fantastic hand/eye co-ordination.

I definitely look up to RIHANNA. She doesn't care what anyone thinks of her, and she's not afraid of TAKING risks and TRYING different things, whether it's fashion or music. She's all about what MAKES her COMFORTABLE.

I'm in the camp that needs to DISCOVER and TAKE risks, sometimes it's with the PROMISE of SOMETHING special and new, sometimes it's to stay awake, either way it's MUCH more stressful with all the uncertainty but worth the pain in the end.

Believing in yourself and what you do is so IMPORTANT. It TOOK me a long time to find that confidence. If you're an artist and you're taking RISKS, then you're doing SOMETHING right if some people don't get it.
