Take Risks

TAKE RISKS

"To laugh is to risk appearing a fool;

To weep is to risk appearing sentimental;

To reach out to another is to risk involvement;

To expose feelings is to risk exposing ones true self;

To place ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk ridicule;

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;

and yet, the person who risks nothing,

does nothing,

has nothing and ultimately

becomes nothing."  (author unknown)
