Let me explain.</span></span></span></p><p class="western" align="justify"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Andalus, serif;"> I am a risk-taker by nature. I've taken risks of breath-taking extravagance in my life. Outrageous risks which, quite frankly, would confound and dismay most folks. </span></span></span></p><p class="western" align="justify"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Andalus, serif;"> In my youth I was headstrong and 'up for' whatever madcap escapades, and worse, were in the offing. That was risk-taking just for the sake of it.</span></span></span></p><p class="western" align="justify"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Andalus, serif;"> Later, in early business years, I still took monumental risks - but for a purpose. These inevitably entailed the possibility of substantial loss – financial, repute and physical – and often did result in abject failure. But many did bear fruit.</span></span></span></p><p class="western" align="justify"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Andalus, serif;"> Nowadays, and for many years past, I continue to take risks that the majority of people would consider to be of reckless proportions. Yet, and here's the good bit, I mostly don't taken any risks at all!</span></span></span></p><p class="western" align="justify"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Andalus, serif;"> What!!??</span></span></span></p><p class="western" align="justify"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Andalus, serif;"> The answer is that I learned to precede any potentially risky actions by asking myself <em>'the 3 big questions'</em> -</span></span></span></p><p class="western" align="justify"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Andalus, serif;"><em> <strong>Am I healthy?</strong></em></span></span></span></p><p class="western" align="justify"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Andalus, serif;"><em> Am I happy?</em></span></span></strong></span></p><p class="western" align="justify"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Andalus, serif;"><em> Will my proposed action CERTAINLY impact positively on either my health or my happiness?</em></span></span></strong></span></p><p class="western" align="justify"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Andalus, serif;"> Let's analyse, very simply, what I've just stated. The questions and the process of evaluation is, in fact, very simple. It's in its absolute simplicity that the profound effectiveness of </span></span><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Andalus, serif;"><em>'the 3 big questions'</em></span></span><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Andalus, serif;"> principle lies.</span></span></span></p><p class="western" align="justify"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Andalus, serif;"> First, assume that you have perfect health. Why do anything which in any way could adversely affect it? Answer – don't!</span></span></span></p><p class="western" align="justify"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Andalus, serif;"> Second, assume that you have perfect happiness. Why do anything which in any way could adversely affect it? Answer – don't!</span></span></span></p><p class="western" align="justify"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Andalus, serif;"> And there's your answer to question three. Never do anything which is liable to damage your existing conditions of good health or inner happiness. As your happiness is, in the first instance, dependent on good bodily health, then your physical and spiritual well-beings are inter-related. </span></span></span></p><p class="western" align="justify"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Andalus, serif;"> Where your physical or mental health is less than perfect and will </span></span><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Andalus, serif;"><em>certainly</em></span></span><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Andalus, serif;"> be improved by your proposed action, or where your proposed action will in no way impinge on your good health and happiness, then any 'risk' is justified – by me at least!</span></span></span></p><p class="western" align="justify"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Andalus, serif;"> So the huge risks others perceive me to be taking in my life and business are anything but. I only embark on those <em>'high risk'</em> actions which are not high risk to me at all. It's like having the dice always loaded in my favour. Nothing I do puts in jeopardy my good health or my overall happiness. My every risk is a <em>certain</em> winner!</span></span></span></p><p class="western" align="justify"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Andalus, serif;"> That is why I always '<em>Risk Asking The 3 Big Questions'.</em> So too should you.</span></span></span></p><p style="text-align:center;color:#008080;"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><strong> </strong><strong>I am Tom Riach.
