Inventiveness and adaptability have always been the real key to survival and sanity. The easiest time in my lifetime where everything went the most smooth for most people had to be 1992 to 2000. This was the longest uninterrupted prosperous time in the U.S. since the 1950s and 1960s. But, when 2001 came it was back to the drawing boards because literally "EVERYTHING" had changed once again. So, both the U.S. and then the world had to become extremely adaptive and inventive once again.
The main reason people in the U.S. tend to be so adaptive is everyone who came here at first in the 1600s, 1700s and 1800s had to be very adaptive or they just didn't survive at all, mentally or physically. So, we are all children of those people who have had ancestors here very long. Think about what people faced here when they first came. They might have believed the legends that the streets were paved with gold and then came and found themselves in the middle of a tornado, or desert or Indian uprising. If they weren't adaptive and inventive they just didn't survive or they went back home to Europe where things made more sense. But when they went home opportunity was lost but also the opportunity to become wealthy and successful for most middle class and poor people. Only here were there opportunities which also came with the risk of death or worse.
So, it must be said that Americans tend to be risk takers because many of us have lived very short lives trying to survive here. But, for those who succeeded the rewards are great. Just remember, "Nothing ventured Nothing gained".
