I learned to drive when I was 35. I'm driving like an old lady and very close to the wheel. I don't take many risks, and when people yell at me I say 'sorry, sorry, sorry!' I don't have road rage yet. ↗
I focus on the writing and let the rest of the process take care of itself. I've learned to trust my own instincts and I've also learned to take risks. ↗
For me, the risks in terms of opening that brewpub were fairly high. I put my house up as collateral, I invested the liquid money I had and two years of my time to get it over, but that's really not much of a risk for what the potential reward was if it worked. ↗
A faction willing to take the risks of making war on the ossified status quo in the Middle East can be described as many things, but not as conservative. ↗
Heroes to me are guys that sit in libraries. They absorb knowledge and then the risks they take are calculated on the basis of the courage it took to become replete with knowledge. ↗
