 Quote of the Day:
 "Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing." – Warren Buffett

When we lack understanding or dive into decisions blindly, we expose ourselves to unnecessary risk—not because the path is inherently dangerous, but because we haven't equipped ourselves with the knowledge to navigate it. Whether it’s investing, career choices, or life decisions, true risk often stems not from the action itself, but from being unprepared or uninformed. The more we learn, research, and ask questions, the more we reduce uncertainty—and with it, the fear and danger of the unknown.
