Easy come, easy go,
but steady diligence pays off.
— Proverbs 13:11 (Message edition)

Taking risks means making calculated moves — with strategy, preparation, and awareness of possible outcomes. Gambling, on the other hand, is acting blindly without understanding or planning, leaving everything to chance.

Be bold, but not reckless.
Courage is smart when guided by clarity.
Calculated risks build empires — gambles destroy them.
Success comes from informed action: study, plan, execute, then adjust.

Take the shot, but know the target.
