About this Quote
This quote by Earl Nightingale recommends that opportunity and danger are 2 sides of the very same coin. Chance and danger are both measurable, and they are inextricably connected. Taking risks can cause fantastic rewards, but it also brings the capacity for failure. The higher the risk, the greater the potential benefit, but likewise the greater the potential for failure. This quote encourages us to take threats and to be aware of the potential effects. It also advises us that we must not hesitate to take dangers, as long as we are prepared to accept the possible consequences. Taking risks can lead to fantastic rewards, but it is very important to be familiar with the possible threats and to be prepared to accept the consequences.
