意味
One must take risks to achieve success.
文化的背景
In France, there is a strong cultural emphasis on 'le culot' (nerve/audacity). This proverb is often used to praise someone who had the 'culot' to try something difficult. In Quebec, this proverb is just as common as in France, but you might also hear 'Qui risque rien n'a rien' more frequently in casual conversation. In the modern French startup scene, this proverb is used to encourage 'l'esprit d'entreprise' (entrepreneurship) and to move away from traditional risk-aversion.
Use it for small things
Don't wait for big life events. Use it when a friend is unsure about ordering a new drink or asking a simple question.
Don't over-negate
Remember it's 'n'a rien', not 'n'a pas rien'. The 'rien' already does the work of 'pas'.
