"Le risque est ce qui reste quand vous pensez avoir tout pris en compte"

Simplified Meaning:
Even when you plan carefully and think you've considered everything that could go wrong, there are always unexpected elements that you can't predict. For example, imagine planning a big outdoor event like a wedding. You check the weather forecast, arrange for a tent, and have a backup generator just in case. Despite all these preparations, something like a sudden storm or a vendor cancellation could still happen. This unexpected event is the risk that remains. In life, no matter how much we plan, there's always a part that's beyond our control. Being aware of this helps us stay flexible and better prepared to handle surprises.
