sorry,,my bad!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

depends there are some things i am so sure of nothing can divert me, but sometimes i do take unneccessary precautions!.

for example, i really wanna go to San Jose State!. but my family all say it's really not safe!. but i would still be willing to go alone and take out 30-40,000 in loans to go!.

but i'll walk 50 feet out of the way of something that isn't likely to affect me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think there are always risks of some kind!.!.!.I've found that because of my tendency for extremes, if I take precautions I end up taking too many and not taking the risks I should take!. Then on the other end, I throw all caution to the wind and get carried away in the other direction!.!.!.so!.!.!.hahaha I don't think I have an answer :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

thats why they are called precautions!. I am a good driver!. I haven't had any accidents or even near misses in years!. Some people say that means I'm due for one!. There are too many idiots out there!. I wear my seatbelt because the law makes me take precautions!. No accidents in many years but 2 seatbelt tickets!. Thats the risk!. Getting a ticket!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Look, it's not a matter to think ahead of RISKS indeed!. Whenever one sensible guy wants to do or go for anything, it's ones own common sense to be cautious!. Now tell me, whether to be cautious is the term as you mentioned as "precautions"!? If so, then it's YES!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Being uncertain about something implies the possibility of a risk being involved!. The simple act of crossing a deserted street may give the individual a sense of calm and surety!. What risk could there be to cross a deserted stretch of road!? But experience and common sense still cause us to look both ways!.!.!.even on a deserted road!. That's my fyi!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
