In this episode Taylor breaks down a quote from Niccolo Machiavelli: "All courses of action are risky, so prudence is not in avoiding danger (it's impossible), but calculating risk and acting decisively. Make mistakes of ambition and not mistakes of sloth. Develop the strength to do bold things, not the strength to suffer."

** Important caveat. In the episode, there is a discussion about how being bold certainly creates opportunities for growth in life. This can be true in personal development. In certain situations, it is important to slow down and watch. This is why it is important to calculate risk. With this being said have the confidence to employ the decision, instead of falling idly by and lazily into a situation. **
