Taking Prudent Risk

Just recently I went into my bank to close out an old account. While the teller was doing what they do behind the counter I found myself looking through the dish of Dum Dum's looking for an interesting flavor. The gentlemen that was helping me soon came back and I asked him if he suggested the 'Mystery Flavor' Dum Dum?

His response kinda caught me off guard. I mean, after all it was in fun anyway. He simply said, "I wouldn't. You might get one you don't like". I left the bank, but for the rest of the day couldn't help thinking about that simple exchange.

Think about it. How much risk was really involved with trying the mystery flavor? I couldn't help but think to myself what is the worst that could happen? It's a sucker for crying out loud.

The point that I took away from it all was when making decisions in family or business consider the risk. Maybe you are content with making 'safe' decisions, if there is such a thing, but just think of all the wonderful adventures in life you might be missing.

So, what flavor did I take? Mystery Flavor of course:)
