Be bold and Confident , take calculated risk

A teacher announced a group of students that I will toss a coin and if you win the toss I will give you ten lakh rupees. On the other hand if you loose you have to give me one lakh rupees. No students came forward to accept this challange. All of them feared that they will not win the toss and hence may have to loose one lakh rupees. As a group they could have taken the risk. Even if they loose each one of them may have to shell out only one thousand rupees. Fear , devoid of self confidence and the boldness to take risk at least as a group came in their way of prosperity.
