Summary
In this episode, Wayne Dyer illustrates that knowledge and courage are complementary elements of greatness. Otherwise, knowledge without courage is futile. Indeed, risk-taking and confidence go hand in hand. As the old saying goes, "Fortune favors the brave."
According to Dr. Dyer., the reality is that success comes at the risk of failure. There are no guarantees, no easy way, and no shortcuts to success. However, Wayne is saying that you shouldn't let any of these challenges stop you from taking a risk. Because the only way to have success in your life is to experience failure and disappointments. Often, the greater the pain, the greater the lesson and experience gained.
Finally, Dr. Dyer reminds us that learning is a lifelong journey. And if you want to be the best, then take a risk, keep going, and overcome your fears. Because in life, you either win or learn.

| 0:36.5 | we got Diter Wain, Dyer back on the show, talking about how he wants his kids and your kids to be |
| 0:44.3 | risk takers. The other day, a friend of mine asked me, she said, uh, if you can live in any other country, |
| 0:52.4 | which country would that be? And I thought about it for like seven seconds. And I said, I wouldn't. |
| 0:58.5 | I wouldn't want to live in any other country. Like I love America. America is not perfect, but |
| 1:03.8 | America is the spot. She was like, well, tell me more about that. I said, well, the American dream. |
| 1:09.6 | Like this is the place. This is the country where you can have an idea and you can create that idea |

| 1:42.0 | that being part of the American dream, you have to be willing to take risk. You have to be. |

| 2:03.4 | always play it safe. Don't get hurt. You're going to be safe. And you know, I understand where it comes |
| 2:09.2 | from. It comes from a place of love, but at the same time, children that are taught not to take risk |
