Dear Zeynep, Gokay, Meltem, and Ozge C,
Thank you all very much for the valuable contributions to the discussion topic:
How do you think success comes in life: from taking risks or chances, or from careful planning?
I agree with Gokay that success in life depends on our ability to see possibilities where noone else can, and yes there are many who have achieved success by taking risks in their lives. Yet, I also believe many of these successful people have calculated the risks and weighed their chances of success by carefully planning each step they have taken. So here I also strongly agree with Zeynep's point of view that planning must be made at ecery stage, even when preparing to take risks.
Meltem and Ozge C, you took the issue from a different angle and said that what we call "experience" is actually taking risks and using opportunities and learning from these experiences. I agree with you, but we should also remember that there are many people around us who have taken risks they cannot handle, because they lacked careful planing, and so faced failure instead of success. Ask these people, and they would say what they have is "regrets", not experience!..
All in all, I see the point you all are trying to make. I think, both careful planning and taking risks and chances are important. My point is, even taking risks requires careful planning. I think successful people are those who work hard, plan their steps carefully so that they achive success, and they take chances, opportunities and risks that they think are affordable and attainable according to their plan...
Thanks,
ps. You're welcome to comment on my ideas.
