Direct correlation, how far it is true?

I still remember in finance class ... lecturer says, "Higher the risk, bring the higher return"
However, in the actual world does this reflect the same mythology?

Sometimes...
while people are going to low return event doesn't mean there is low risk. In fact they are loosing,
eg: the bank fix deposit seems to be low risk, however the interest can not over come the inflation
and it is equal to the lost of value. It become a total no value tools...

In actual life, there are how many similar examples around us?

• While there are jobs around, but it did not seems to be a future...
• While there is a opportunity, but it doesn't seems to be a chance. It might be a trap
• While you a going for good, it doesn't seems to bring a good return???

When I am moving into a direction, it seems to be a dead end... somehow, could it be a opportunity?

... After all, people says, "at least you are doing something"

"Life is just like a box of chocolate you will never know what you going to have"

Cheers...
