I have seen over the years many people entering investments based on what they have heard from other people,such as forex and stock markets,used cars

trading,real estate ,.etc. some have succeeded and most have failed.what do you think triggered them into entering such risks? why do people spend years of hard work saving some money and the next day they invest it in a field they are not experienced in?what motivates them to risk their life savings into risky fields they have no prior experience in?

I see that successful investment is better measured on the portfolio level rather than on the level of each investment.

Conceptually, investment is an act based on the expected future. This is always risky, but the risk varies from low to insane. On the other hand the return (positive or negative) is directly proportinal to the level of risk.

Investors with limited resources should stick to the safe choices to secure thier investments but there will always be the ones who are willing to take the risk and among those their will always be some winners and a lot of loosers.

In my opinion, people keeps on taking risk in their daily life, while crossing the road, selecting life- partner etc. There is different prospects for taking risk. For example, people invest in the stock market to earn in short term. Some people buy used cars either for doing practise or they can't afford investment in new car.  You can't learn swimming till you will dive in the water. In the same way, you have to take risk to be successful, since experience is the best teacher and you have to earn it. Now a day's people do research on everything before they purchase it, but it has limitation. For example most common source of information is internet, but no one aware how information is genuine on that site. Also no one can do complete research since time doesn't wait for you. With this curtail the best way to concern with those people who either are in respective field or who had prior experience.
