"Nothing great would ever be built if people knew in advance what the real costs and challenges were"
In this project question I have to present my views on the statement ''nothing great would ever be built if people knew in advance what the real costs and challenges were''. YES I am agree with the statement. In my opinion great things and inventions take place with lots of efforts and dedication and in this process various failures are also included so if people knew about the failures and challenges before then they will not take that risk. We have various example of scientists and great inventors who started their journey without thinking much. All the challenges and cost became the part of the process and they were accepting the challenges because hope for chances of success was there. But on the other hand if we knew already all the challenges of the process then morale of the person is affected a lot. Basically it can be called a psychological phenomenon or it depends on the thinking process of the individual. If one individual wants to know all the risk, cost and challenges in advance then wants to go ahead for the invention, then in my opinion it would not be a great invention. Because inventions are new in nature so challenges and cost cannot be calculated for any of the process. Most of the time when we start calculating risk and challenges of any project then due to high risk project is closed by the organization. But if any project is started by the organization then challenges and risk comes in the process then organization is ready to take those challenges because they already invested in the process. So in my opinion I would suggest we should go for the inventions because these invention gives new direction to our life.
