Exploration and the risk of failure

People seem to be in one of two categories:

• Those who seek stability, affiliation, work worth doing and the assurance it (whatever it is) will be okay.
• Those who explore, need to know that failure is an option and quest to make a dent in the universe.

You can be in either category, the world needs and rewards both. But pick a brand and a job and a posture that matches your category, or you'll fail, and be miserable until you do.

Hint: there is no category of: "does risky exploration, never fails."
