"If you take risk you may fail, but if you do not take risks you will surely fail. The greatest risk of all is to do nothing." Taking risks is better than doing nothing. It could be proven in the novel written by Robert Louis Stevenson named Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and in the play Macbeth written by William Shakespeare.
The novel written by Robert Louis Stevenson called Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was basically based on risk. The risk he took was to saperate the evil part of him from his good part. It was a risk because the drug made may have failed or worked. Taking that risk failed but if he had done nothing he would have lived to be an unhappy man. He has been doing what people wanted him to do. But before he died he experienced the evil part of him due to the risk he took.
In the play written by William Shakespeare named Macbeth was also based on risk. Macbeth took a risk to fufill his so called "destiny" in which three witches told him that he was to become the next king inorder for him to take his place as the next king. He succeeded in killing the king but inorder to remain king and cover up for the murder many other risks followed. Macbeth eventually died. In taking this he succeeded in becoming the next king. If Macbeth did not take this risk he would have never became a king. So taking that risk killed him eventually but also helped him become king.
In conclusion taking risk may fail but doing nothing is the greatest risk of all. Which was proved in the novel Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and in the play Macbeth. In both stories risk was taking and ended up to be a lesser risk than doing nothing.
