What's Your Backup Plan?
你的B計劃是什么？

Finally, what are some clues to assess if the risk is going bad, and what is your backup plan if your risk isn't successful?
最后，你要評估哪些線索來得知冒險正在走向失敗。如果冒險不成功，你的B計劃又是什么？

In thinking through these questions, you might determine, for example, that quitting your well-paying job and spending your savings to pursue an invention idea isn't a risk you find tolerable.
好好想想這些問題，你可能會發現，辭掉自己的高薪工作、把存款花到一個發明想法上，這樣做的風險超出了自己的承受力。

The smartest risks have a limited downside and a huge upside. They involve research and the counsel of experienced people -- but also the willingness to step back and let the cards fall where they may.
最明智的冒險“弊”有限而“利”很大。需要研究、向有經驗的人咨詢，還要甘愿在必要的時候退一步、順其自然。

Believe that you've made the right choice, and have faith that everything will turn out all right in the end. Insecurity and negativity won't serve you well, because you'll be constantly holding your breath, waiting for things to fall apart.
堅信你的選擇是正確的，并篤信一切終究會圓滿成功。不安全感和消極態度不會給你帶來裨益，因為你要不斷屏住呼吸、等著事情失敗。

Speaking of which, if a risk doesn't work out, don't let it stop you from taking similar actions in the future. It's normal to feel disappointment and even embarrassment. But it's essential that you pick yourself up and move on.
說到這兒，如果冒險沒有成功，不要讓它阻礙你今后采取類似的措施。感覺失望甚至尷尬是很正常的。不過重要的是，你要振作精神，繼續前進。

Take stock of what went wrong and make a note to do it differently next time. There is no shorter path to career fulfillment.
從錯誤中汲取教訓，避免下次重蹈覆轍。職場成功沒有捷徑可尋。
