If you are not dealing with the occasional unforeseen crisis, by definition you are only sticking to things you fully understand.
Some people prefer that, and in some fields like aircraft safety maybe it's an essential characteristic. But in most competitive endeavors, that attitude tends to be defeated by the person who chooses to take more risks, even if some efforts fail.
- HeyLaughingBoy 18y agoEither that or you take on things you (and your competition) don't understand and you explore it until you understand it completely and now you have a leg up on the competion. I work in a safety-critical industry and this is how progress is made: dream up the technology, implement it and debug it fully until you can show the risks have been eliminated and then release. In our industry the people who take dangerous risks will probably be sued into the ground if they're not shut down by the FDA before that happens.
