How often do you take risks? If you are smart, then never. It is always best to take into account every possible outcome of any situation and act accordingly. So generally the more you think the less you have to risk. But there is something alluring about risky business, is there not? The thrill or anxiety it brings forth is grand and there is much to be won from engaging some risks from time to time. My suggestion is: "Do it whenever you can". It does not happen often you find yourself in a situation where you can freely choose from among various drastic solutions. The results of your actions are usually important enough to avoid taking any risks. But risk you must, at least if you don't want to miss out on something what I consider very important, and thus it's a good idea to use the freedom you have within a cohesive group of friends or in innocent games and practice taking risks. The more you are ready to loose, the more you will be able to achieve. But in the end it's not about winning or losing - rather about the skill itself.
In Greek mythology Medusa was a Gorgon, a chthonic female monster, and a daughter of Phorcys and Ceto; Only Hyginus, interposes a generation and gives another chthonic pair as parents of Medusa; gazing directly upon her would turn onlookers to stone. She was beheaded by the hero Perseus, who thereafter used her head as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. In classical antiquity the image of the head of Medusa appeared in the evil-averting device known as the Gorgoneion.
Téte de Méduse by Peter Paul Rubens (1618)
