I don’t think so. I think not giving up is the only path to success.

i think that depends on what metrics you weigh so heavily to qualify as a validation of being successful in the first place.

@uma_venugopal Totally - some people define completion as success and revenue metrics are secondary. Some people see success as trying in the first place!
The headline seems a bit like a loaded question. Risks are part of the game, but they're not the whole playbook.
There are many people who also play it "safe" and do just fine.
Success is relative. The key is to show up and be consistent while working smarter not harder.
Does that have to include risk? No!
It all comes down to what your end goal entails. If you want to be the next Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk, then you can bet it is going to involve a ton of risk to get there.
However, if you just want to live a comfortable life and take care of the ones around you, there can be very little life-changing risks involved.
The only thing you'll be risking is your time and it failing.
"I need both great developers and great salespeople to succeed. But if I had to choose, I'd say developers are more important in the early stages."
"I think taking calculated risks is important, but it's not the only thing that matters. Hard work, dedication, and perseverance are also essential ingredients for success."
Sometimes, yes. But one definetely shouldn't go all-in.

Definitely not "the only path", but sometimes risks are simply unavoidable.
