About risk
And here is this week's Friday Five (Okay, I've recycled an old one, as there is no new F5).
- What's the most daring thing you've ever done? Daring or stupid? I've overtaken in dense fog. That was stupid. The car didn't make it, but I got lucky. That taught me a lesson.
- What one thing would you like to try that your mother/friend/significant other would never approve of? Take 100,000 to the casino and try to do a Martingale at roulette (yes, I know the statistics are against me).
- On a scale of 1–10, what's your risk factor? (1=never take risks, 10=it's a lifestyle) 7
- What's the best thing that's ever happened to you as a result of being bold/risky? Doing a PhD, I should have completed my second masters degree first, but someone suggested that I go straight to the big game.
- … and the worst? Doing PhD (we'll you've caught me on a bad day for writing). But really, doing a PhD is a double edged sword. It has it's really good times and it's really bad times—and I'm never sure if it is worth the effort, reward, etc.
