This video is about Seth Godin talking about taking risks in the 21st century. Risks are not as risky as they once were. He mentions that if a person blogs about something but does not get the response he/she wants, the can try again tomorrow. Same with tweeting, if no one re-tweets their stuff, they can try again in an hour
He underlines the point of taking "appropriate risks. Take risks where "you are still in the game if you fail." I like this idea because having the connotations as a risk taker (and maybe even a failure) who hasn't achieved their goal yet is better than a someone who is happy with where the are at and does not try at all.
This relates to a quote of his where he mentions that defending mediocrity must be exhausting. Where in that holding yourself back takes much more of a toll than constantly putting yourself out there.
