We welcome risk when we're young, we avoid risk when we're older. People, companies, governments: only a determined few break this pattern.
Jack's heart is clearly with the risk takers. But I think there's a more measured way to read this tweet.
Perhaps with age comes the wisdom to be more careful about which risks are worth taking.
I believe it's not avoiding risks that we favor as we age; it's managing risks.
@ifindkarma That's because as we get older we turn into Squares.
