Hi, I picked up a really neat poem, It kinda poked me and said, "If you just sit there, nothing will happen in your life, you will be a boring nobody!"
Anyway here it is:
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool,
To weep is to risk being called sentimental,
To reach out to another is to risk involvement,
To expose feelings is to risk showing your true self,
To place your ideas and dreams before the crowd is to risk being called naive,
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 risks must be taken - because the greatest risk in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, in nothing, and becomes nothing.
They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live.
Chained by their servitude, the slaves have fortified this freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free.
