Risk Taker

• To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
• To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
• To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
• To expose feeling is to risk exposing your true self.
• To place your ideas, your dreams before the crowd, is to risk their loss.
• To love is to risk not being loved in return.
• To live is to risk dying.
• To hope is to risk despair.
• To try is to risk failure.
• But the risk must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
• The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing.
• He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.
• Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he has forfeited freedom.
• ONLY A PERSON WHO RISKS – IS FREE
