Playing with risk: The dangers of thinking safe | Mike Hewson | TEDxSydney
Playgrounds should be safe. But should they also be risky? In this charming and creative talk, artist and engineer, Mike Hewson asks us to consider what we lose when we focus on eliminating risk from our worlds. And why exploratory and risk-taking behaviour should be encouraged in each and every one of us.
Mike Hewson is a visual artist with a background in structural engineering and heavy-civil construction. His award-winning projects pioneer new ways to merge conceptual art projects into the public realm. Hewson works to prove we can in fact do things that are considered untenable in a public setting. Each project aims to catalyse fresh conversation about how the bureaucratic and managerial aspects of power are shaping our public lives, asking if we like that shape or if we’d like to consider other options. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

If you don't want to meet, then get lost with your insincerity
I wish I had this as a child. I would have loved it. At 68, I am not a risk taker at all and I can feel how it holds me back.

I think it a normal next step when we get older and wiser , after all a fall can be more costly then when we're tots..but keeping adventure in our lives should always be at the forefront! Keep living your adventure🙂✌️

We had 2m high 5cm wide (sharp angle) walls on which I could run just fine as a kid. I mean it's nothing compared to kids doing parkour. But I took a far greater risk moving countries to be poor, then buying 2 properties with unimaginable debt at a time when no one would buy.

Go for your wishes... It's a mental and mind game... Choose you first
Fantastic! I grew up on a farm and our adventures were limitless! We even built rafts😂 I agree that exploration builds confidence. It’s important for children and it’s important as we age. It lets you know what you’re capable of doing - and not doing. Now, as a 74 year old, I’m happy riding my mountain bike on trails! We’re capable of so much - unless we stop exploring!
"You can love a greater purpose, you can be fulfilled by a greater purpose, but it is going to take everything you have to do it. It is going to unite you within yourself out of necessity. It is going to demand everything. It is going to require more of you than you feel you can give or even want to give. This is what redeems you, you see. This is what makes your life whole and focused and complete. This is what gives you the strength and the necessity to leave aside meaningless things, to disengage from relationships that have no future and no purpose, and to get whatever help you need to resolve your inner difficulties because you have a greater mission now to fulfill. There is dreaming about a higher purpose, and then there are the demands of living a higher purpose. A higher purpose will require risk-taking, uncertainty, disappointment, other people failing. It is not an easy task, you see, not a task for the ambivalent or the faint of heart or those who are self-obsessed, losing all their life force over things that they cannot or will not resolve. Your purpose will shape you, it will strengthen you, it will make you wise and compassionate. For you will see how much it requires to really be a real person in the world and to fulfill your mission and destiny here. It is not even the amount of work; it is the quality of the work; it is the intention of the work; it is the whole-heartedness of the work; it is the wisdom of its application." A quote from a teaching entitled - *_Faith, Work and Higher Purpose_* I invite you warmly to read or listen to the whole teaching, among many others, at the official website of *_The New Message from God_*
