Volume 2 Chapter 3 Getting rich is the right of life [-]
Adventure and reward often go hand in hand
When an opportunity comes, never turn it down just because it won't fulfill all your dreams.

- "The Lost Classic of Getting Rich"

Bill Gates said: "The so-called opportunity is to try something new and something that has never been done before." There are two possibilities for success and failure in everything people do.When the possibility of failure is relatively high, it is naturally a bit risky to insist on doing it, but if you can be sure that there is a possibility of success hidden in what you are going to do, and this success is very important to you, then It is true that failure can be borne, so do not hesitate, but act resolutely.

At this time, adventure and harvest often go hand in hand.There are barbarians in danger, and there are benefits in danger.So, if you want to have a great life, sometimes you have to take risks.Those who dare not take risks will soon lose their basic competitiveness, so where is the chance of success?

There was a farmer standing beside an empty estate, frowning.

A passer-by asked him as he passed by: "Does this large piece of land belong to you?"

"Yes." The farmer replied listlessly.

The passer-by asked curiously, "Have you planted wheat in the field?"

The farmer replied, "No, I'm worried that it won't rain."

"Then have you grown cotton?" the man asked again.

"No, I'm worried the bugs ate the cotton."

"Then what did you plant?"

The farmer said: "Nothing is planted, and I am always worried that I will lose money."

A person who dares not take risks may end up with nothing to lose, but nothing to gain, like the farmer.While avoiding difficulties, they also lost the opportunity to gain wealth.In fact, the other side of risk is often opportunity. Life is an adventure, and those who go the farthest are those who are willing to do it and take risks.

As a world-renowned company, Microsoft has always favored people with an adventurous spirit.Because in Bill Gates' concept: the possession of reality comes from potential possibilities, and only by having the courage to try can these potential wealth be unearthed.So Microsoft would rather take the risk of failure and choose someone who has failed before, rather than hire a person who is cautious but has no achievements.At Microsoft, the consensus is that it's better to try an opportunity, and fail, than to not try at any.

Masao Watanabe, the founder of Dado Real Estate Company in Japan, is also a person who dares to take risks and is good at turning potential possibilities into reality.

Masao Watanabe used to be a small businessman. When he discovered the future of the real estate industry, he decisively stopped the business he was running at the time and went to a real estate company to find a job in order to accumulate experience.But the company refused to hire him.Therefore, Watanabe proposed to work without pay for one year.

During this year, Watanabe fully understood the inside story of this industry. When the company was about to hire him, he left.After raising funds, Watanabe began to dabble in real estate.

At that time, Japan's economy was recovering rapidly after the war. As people's income increased, urban pollution gradually increased.Watanabe saw the business opportunity and bought millions of square meters of mountain land on the outskirts of the city.At that time, many people were not optimistic, thinking that Watanabe's decision was very stupid.However, with Watanabe's transformation of this land and the improvement of surrounding transportation facilities, more and more people began to pay attention to this place, and some rich people came to order villas and orchards one after another.A year later, most of this mountain land was sold, and Watanabe earned 50 billion yen. He did not save the money, but continued to invest in the development of this real estate, and invested in the remaining land A more luxurious and comfortable villa was built on top of it.Three years later, this mountainous land turned into a beautiful villa city, and the money Watanabe earned reached tens of billions of yen.

In a speech summarizing his success, Watanabe said: "The reason why I can succeed is because I dare to take risks. When I choose an investment project, if others say it is feasible, this is not an opportunity-everyone else can." Opportunities seen are not opportunities. Every time I choose projects that others say can’t be done, only opportunities that others have not discovered but you have discovered are golden opportunities. Although it is risky to do so, if you don’t take risks, you won’t win. As long as you have 50 % hope is worth the risk."

Dare to take risks is the first step to success. If you dare to take risks but also have a keen sense of business and a prudent style of work, success and wealth will be at your fingertips.
