To Risk

Posted by Nafis on May 14, 2010
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.To reach out is to risk involvement,To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.To place your ideas anddreams before a 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 risks must be taken becausethe greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.The person who risks nothing, does nothing,has nothing, is nothing.– William Arthur Ward (1921-1994)Enjoyyyyyyyy!Nafis

    Dear Manuela,

    This is so true. To take a risk, means that we will win or fail. If we won, we would take what we wanted. If we failed, at least we would learn something.

    Have a terrific day,

    How great quote,Dear Nafis,and deeply true!
    I will keep in mind your post,because sometimes I'm afraid to take risks,afraid of failing to succeed at the end.I'm just too realist,which isn't a positive peculiarity in every case.
    I think I need to gather more self-confidence,thank you for make me remember of it.
