Not every risk is brave. Some are just loud. Bravery has a reason behind it.

Spectacle and courage both involve risk, which is why they get confused. The difference is whether the risk buys anything. A loud risk is priced for an audience, and the payoff is being watched; a brave one has something on the other side of it that you would still want if nobody ever heard about it. The noise is often inversely related to the point.

Before the next one, ask what you actually get if it goes well. If the only honest answer is that people saw you do it, you have found a performance rather than a decision.
