Taking Risks | Daniel Delgado | TEDxYouth@ASFM

Taking risks is essential to growing as a person. Daniel believes risks are there to teach us lessons and to keep us moving up in life.

He is a financier in the creative working field. Previously, Delgado worked with Ex-Bank-of-Mexico-Governor Carstens in the National Economic Sector, and for the past few months he has worked in Grupo Cinco, a publicity agency. This fall he will start his MBA in the Tuck School of Business.

I was never encouraged to take risks as I grew up and now I am 61 without achieving any thing of greatness. This stops today thanks to this video.... and I will urge my kids and grandkids to take risks and live life to the fullest.

Taking risks and actually getting a leverage / reward is the best feeling in life

[tankthepitbull]

I’m unemployed for 11 months and I have few real prospects. I need to push myself out of my comfort zone to take risks to try to become more successful.

I’ve had a “safe” job for about 3 years and I got an offer at a better job, however it’ll be a challenge for me. I’ve decided to take it :)

[sebastiancorrales]

Common sense : if the risk might get you seriously injured, death, huge losses in money then it’s a foolish risk . Great Ted talk

[danielbarbosa]

To be honest, my first reaction was to think the cave story was super silly, but these exaggered thoughts like "I´m gonna die" happen every time we feel paralyzing fear. Therefore, I made an effort to empathize with the speaker and then I realized I didn´t feel good about it at first because it reflected a part of me I don´t like and don´t fully accept. In summary, this talk inspired me to rethink what risk actually means to me.

Not all risks worth taking the deception element is hard to find, taking risk on a matter that surrounded by warning signs is suicide/self destruction, but taking a risk on a matter that you dont know whats their and there is no warning signs that would be the risk to take .

Hi Daniel, Thank you for this inspirational video. I have taken many risks in my life. And no shame in telling honestly that, i failed in many. Doing job from last 8 years. Now i think time came to start the second phase of my life by taking some calculated risk after watching your video closely. 😊

[ThuongLe-gunc]

It is a wonderful speech. I really appreciate it sir. Honestly, I'm a risk averse person so I'm never willing to take any risks in both my professional life and personal life. From now on, I have motivation and determination to step out of my comfort zone in order to achieve something greater. If there is a failure, it will teach me valuable lessons. Thank you a lot. I'm grateful to you Sir.

Life isn’t worth anything if you never take risks. It isn’t worth anything if you don’t have memories that you can share. The one way to achieve something great in your life is to step outside your boundaries, to take a risk of what you don’t know the outcome. You could easily take a safe job, or you could take your dream job and enjoy every second of it. You could easily watch people having fun, taking risks, enjoying their life, or you could be the one out there making wonderful memories, living a life you won’t ever forget. It’s all up to Y͟o͟u͟ to decide. some people might die one day with nothing special to remember, and some people might die doing what they love, holding memories of the crazy and fun things they did in life. The easy way in life is to play it safe, but sometimes, it’s better to not play it safe and to do what your gut tells you to do. Don’t be afraid of failure, be afraid of never knowing wether you would’ve f͟a͟i͟l͟e͟d͟ ͟o͟r͟ ͟s͟u͟c͟c͟e͟e͟d͟e͟d͟.͟

People are willing to gamble but not willing to take risks. There’s a difference

[LD-wfyt]

An alternative to risks is to consider running experiments. Set a time limit, that is the best part, accept failures. Failures will break your current way of thinking and will force you to think differently. And then you will live differently. Stay disciplined when running experiments! Be a better tortoise, not a hare.

[frogprincessss]

Glad I saw ur video. I am taking a big risk tom.. stepping away out of my comfort zone. I hope it's worth it.

[mattverville]

I was thinking about my early life. Now mind you I'm 35 years old. The thought was me flying a kite when I was young. I was having fun and it was flying great. I went to let out my string further and I got scared that at the end of the string it wasn't attached so I didn't let it out. I have always played it safe. I have a small construction business but I have always played it safe, the math. I have come to the conclusion that nobody ever makes it playing safe. They may make it but they never reach the real heights. I promise everyone reading this, I'm going to find out how high my kite can fly! I'm done playing safe

[inmobiliariasierramadre]

thumbs up great brother and dad you got there mate

[phil_marshall]

Good on you
I just come back from a 6000km ride across central America with a motorcycle, and it was my first time ever on a motorcycle, doing it alone, no motorbike knowlege except for how to open the tank.

And then I see these 40-50-60 years old men with their new BMW of 1200 parking next to my old 94 Honda 600 that I just got 2 weeks ago for 1000usd.

I feel happy for these guys to finally be making one of their ultimate dreams come true but feel sad that they had to wait 30 years to make this come true while I hit the road on my own without knowing what I was doing and I m 25

What I wanna say with this is, just take risks. Honestly just f*cking try at least. As soon as you re not putting yourself in a supid deadly situation, why not giving it a try? And alone if no one can or wants to join.

Worst case scenario you ll have the attention of all your friends for months because you ll have so many stories to tell

I speak about that in the field of adventure, but it s the same for anything else involving travel or not

Just have fun in the end and dont wait to be retired to enjoy your life🔥 yolo as we say lol

how do I convince my parents at least not to discourage me when I come upon risks-taking, skydiving specifically

[EvandroDiogo]

Uma linda história, muito obrigado. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[javinx]

masters at 23! damn.
i feel the more privileged you are, the easier it is for you to take risks.

[sanjeev]

You will start your MBA soon and you are talking about risks!?
