To laugh is to risk appearing the fool

To weep is to risk appearing sentimental

To reach out for another is to risk involvment

To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self

To place your ideas before the crowds is to risk their loss

To love is to risk not to being loved in return

To live is to risk dying

To hope is to risk despair

To try is to risk failure

But you have to realize that risks 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 CAN`T learn, feel, change, grow, love & love.

Only a person who risks in life is Free!

Think about it!
