Identify The probability of each risk.When we take risks they are normally revolved around feelings and emotions. There is normally emotional biases involve. When deciding to take the risk. I is important to label what type of risk it is in your mind before you decide to act on it. Also, before you decide to take a risk. Compare our personal risk tolerance to the objectively (or subjectively) assessed risk. An example is driving a car.This may be only an estimate of one marker of my tolerance for risk, but it's a helpful way of putting other risks into perspective by enabling me to think about them as multiples of my risk of death from something I do nearly every day(PT). Also, Because the point of this comparison is to help you grade your emotional risk tolerance in a more concrete and objective way, comparing apples to oranges is entirely permissible and useful (for example, comparing your lifetime risk of dying from a car accident to your risk, say, of stroke from being anticoagulated(PT). Weigh the risk against the benefit. If you stand to gain more than everyday benefit, you'll tolerate more than everyday risk(PT). In the end It is all up to you.
