When one begins to have one or even more children, his willingness to take risks in life normally decreases, more or less.

Now I have a toddler. However, my willingness to take risks may have not been blunted at all. One important reason is that I'm somewhat well prepared. For one thing, with a somewhat remote background of being a linguistically disadvantaged immigrant in Canada from China, I had already invested an enormous amount of time and effort into elevating my English proficiency, in order to preempt the case in which an insufficient English level would hamper my competing in the market, before my baby was born.
