(e.g. read What Are the Odds of Becoming a Black Belt?) | There is no approach that will 100% guarantee you success. Many people compare the disadvantages of doing something different to the advantages of not changing. And that's a completely unbalanced comparison.
Sure there's a chance you may fail going out on a limb. But there's a chance you'll fail stayng where you are too. And if you change, at least you'll learn something from it.
