Risk

Risk is something that might happen when you try something or make a decision, that could turn out to be good or bad. It means you might get a good result or a bad one – there's no way to know for sure. When you take a risk, you might get something great but it also could lead to a bad outcome. It's important to weigh the pros and cons when making any decision, and you should always be prepared for whatever the result might be.
