You will need to be willing to take some risks in order to move ahead in your life. Be careful, though, about the type of risks you take – particularly when they involve other people.
Here is a little song to play in the back of your mind if you are about to impulsively embark on an incredibly risky venture. Get “Take a Chance on Me” by ABBA playing in the back of your mind. Then, imagine that you are driving with a friend in your car, that a gas station is just up ahead, and that the gas gauge is getting really low.
Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance…
Take a Chance with Me
I won’t change my mind, we can’t wait in line
Hey, gas ain’t free
Take a chance with me
And you need me, really, cuz this is my car
We’re going that way, and we’re going far
You’d like to fly, fly far away
Still here I see
Take a chance with me
Gonna keep on driving, till the tank is almost dry
Push the pedal down, drive right on by
Take a chance with me
(The gauge is getting lower)
Take a chance with me
We could get stranded, we could be walking, many miles together
Listen to your yelling, very little talking, things could better
Oh, I know you’ve got
So much that you wanna do, when you catch up with me
It’s tragic
We didn’t make it there, okay it isn’t fair
You told me so
But I had to go
No, I won’t change my mind, we can’t wait in line
Hey, gas ain’t free
Take a chance with me
And you need me, really, cuz this is my car
We’re going that way, and we’re going far
You’d like to fly, fly far away
Still stuck here I see
Take a chance with me
Gonna keep on driving, till the tank is almost dry
Push the pedal down, drive right on by
Take a chance with me
(Maybe I should have driven slower)
Take a chance with me
Oh, you should take a pill, not be in such a fury, no you won’t catch up with me
You might wanna really hurt me, but buddy don’t worry, I ain’t gonna let you
Let me take a bow
My feet are fast enough to flee when things get rough
Or it’s tragic
You say you’ll take your time, can’t get this off your mind
You can’t let it go
Yes, you told me so
I won’t change my mind, we can’t wait in line
Hey, gas ain’t free
Take a chance with me
And you need me, really, cuz this is my car
We’re going that way and we’re going far
You’d like to fly, fly far away
Still here with I see
Take a chance with me
Gonna run my very best, quickly flee
Put this old car to the test, took a chance with me
Ah ah ah ah aaaah, ah ah ah ah aaaah!
Hey, gas ain’t free
You took a chance with me
Gonna run my very best, quickly flee
Put this old car to the test, took a chance with me
(Took a chance, took a chance, took a chance with me)
Ah ah ah ah aaah, ah ah ah ah aaah!
Hey, gas ain’t free
You took a chance with me
{Repeat and fade}
