Too much information: My wife
and I conceived our first child in front
of the police department.
Dangerous judgment: I play
chicken with trains.
Effective: The greatest
calculated risk that I have taken was to
launch my own internet company. My idea
was solid, but I knew the market was
volatile. Even though the venture ended,
my investment of time and money paid off
in terms of the skills, perspectives,
and contacts that I made through the
process. I feel like I matured-rather
than aged-ten years during that time.
