To risk or not to risk?

FYI:
He asked me out but I couldn't go...now he doesn't text me anymore. Has he given up? And just when I was beginning to fall for him...*Sigh*

Malaysians are risk-takers.

That's what I got out of my previous class.

It was Stategic Management and we were discussing about how external factors i.e tsunami, SARS affected business and people in Malaysia.

The conclusion was:

After tsunami, a lot of people still came to Langkawi and Penang where else in other countries, tsunami-affected resorts were suffering from a declining number of tourists.
When the country was hit with SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), Malaysian malls and hotels and public places were still packed as if it was any other day.

Now,there's kinda like a haze (jerebu) enveloping the Klang valley...and still we go about breathing in and out and going on with life....

I guess Malaysians (myself included) are either risk-takers or are just "too good" for their own good.

That's just my opinion.

What say you?
