Yes there was some sarcasm there
. It's the best way i have of expressing myself in this IM forum without being too harsh to people.

The way i mitigate risks to my success is to consider what could go wrong in my plans, and to consider if i can live with it, should what i expect of going right but has risks of going wrong does end up failing. Of course i'm always optimistic about everything, but i do not fail to consider that things might go wrong. If i don't consider the risks, i would end up doing stupid decisions.
That's the problem i have with the belief that some people have in this forum.
They believe in the SR and believe that if they just believe strongly enough in something, it will happen. They believe, e.g., they can manipulate the stock market, the economy, or whatever, because it is inside "their world", "their creation". This approach fails to consider risks, or doesn't put the importance on analyzing risks as someone more down to earth would.
By the way, consider all that i said above to be more about the financial world (investing and business world), so you can think of examples about what i said.
The believes in SR will come up with arguments saying that i said this all with the belief that "the world is objective" and that since i believe that the world is so, so it will be for me. It's impossible to discuss with this argument, since it can't be proven nor unproven. Like discussing religion. Religions are as true (false) as SR, neither can be proven nor unproven. That's why i gave up discussing things here on the IM forum and will drop some humorous lines now and then
