What's Your Backup Plan?
你的B计划是什么？
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，你要评估哪些线索来得知冒险正在走向失败。如果冒险不成功，你的B计划又是什么？
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.
好好想想这些问题，你可能会发现，辞掉自己的高薪工作、把存款花到一个发明想法上，这样做的风险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.
最明智的冒险“弊”有限而“利”很大。需要研究、向有经验的人咨询，还要甘愿在必要的时候退一步、顺其自然。
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.
坚信你的选择是正确的，并笃信一切终究会圆满成功。不安全感和消极态度不会给你带来裨益，因为你要不断屏住呼吸、等着事情失败。
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.
说到这儿，如果冒险没有成功，不要让它阻碍你今后采取类似的措施。感觉失望甚至尴尬是很正常的。不过重要的是，你要振作精神，继续前进。
Take stock of what went wrong and make a note to do it differently next time. There is no shorter path to career fulfillment.
从错误中汲取教训，避免下次重蹈覆辙。职场成功没有捷径可寻。
