High risk

Having high risk doesn’t mean getting high reward.

You could jump from an airplane with no parachute, the risk is high but there is no reward.

So, ideally you don’t want high risk opportunities, you want to minimize risk and get some rewards.

Or you could go play the roulette and put everything you have on 0, the risk is high, but the chance of huge reward is very low.

Today people say high risk = high reward, if high risk = high reward, then everybody would risk everything always because the reward would be guaranteed.

So it’s better to always minimize risk because reward is not guaranteed.

Doing worthwhile things

You can’t build a blog in one evening and expect money to roll in. If it was that simple – everybody would be a blogger.

Doing worthwhile things takes a lot of years, and most people give up along the way because the sheer amount of work might not necessarily reward you back. That’s the downside of online work.

If my goal was to make money, I would have been making more flipping burgers at McDonald’s. For me it wasn’t about the huge money, for me it was about doing something for myself rather than for an employer.

Anyone can build a blog if he is willing to work, and a huge blog will attract some eyeballs, the question is if you can monetize all that hard boring work, not a fact that you can’t make a blog.

Everybody working these days wants some monetary reward because working for free in capitalism doesn’t make any sense since everything costs money. Sure there is free stuff, but you can’t complain about something you get for free.

Worthwhile things take years to build, it’s not something you can build in one evening.
