The biggest risk confronting me, one that remains a challenge, a challenge that will be everlasting into perpetuity, is playing the stock market.

I do not want to accept the challenge for I have things organised in a way that doesn’t mean I have to worry or concern myself in a firsthand way about the day-to-day operation of how things are.

Other things would challenge me, like jumping out of an aeroplane with a parachute on my back, rowing across the vast stretch of water in a row boat, or racing around and around and around and around the race track in a five racing car, but these challenges are more a figment of my imagination and challenged my reality.

I guess you could say I like things the way they are. Yes, there are things that I could venture to but why challenge the odds?

I might feel differently if I was half a century younger but now I am a very very old man and quite happy to lead a life that is contributing but not set up in a way to put myself in any danger because of taking extravagant risks. Thank you most kindly for allowing me to lead a quiet and unassuming life.
