The Coupon, Use at Your Own Risk

This post is a risk-coupon. A risk coupon is a coupon you redeem when you are willing to take a risk. This risk is not some game you play. It is not imaginary. If you use this coupon you might just fall down. You might go broke. You might lose face. You might embarrass yourself highly, but if you are spending this coupon you have come to realize that staying in your nice comfortable security of a well-paying job or going along with what everyone else is doing (when you don't really agree) is far worse than just jumping and seeing where you land.

This doesn't mean that you won't plan your jump. This is not a coupon for rash sudden movements, but it is a coupon for making a decision that what you really value in life is worth taking the risk to get.

So here's your coupon. Use it at your own risk.
