We all have seen the child who seamlessly has no fear. They are the ones who dive right into the pool without knowing how to swim. These individuals are born with a dulled sense of fear and forethought. I would suggest, however, that it is not that they have a diminished sense of forethought, but rather that they have come to realize that the risk of trying something pales in comparison to the reward of accomplishing it.

That is a lesson we could all benefit from. We must all try to see the reward as being greater than the risk.
