Funny George!  But seriously, risk is part of life.  And there are times when great rewards only come after some risk.  People take calculated risks everyday--to do otherwise is to stay under the covers and hide.  Instead of resisting risk, I'd just rather raise my tolerance to it.  That's working pretty good for me so far, so I'll stick with it.  And funnily enough, I literally hate gambling.  I lived in Vegas for four years, and I didn't gamble once with my own money.  A friend of mine gave me $100 bucks to play roulette, and wouldn't let me spend it on anything else--I promptly lost it! :)
