Success is a by-product of vision supplemented with courage wrapped with powerful beliefs. We need to replace our fears with courage and risks with securities, so that we are able to face various changes and challenges of life. I came across some lines on taking risk:
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 your dreams before them is to risk being called naïve.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To hope is to risk despair, and to try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person, who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live. He is a slave as he has forfeited his freedom.
Only the person who risks is truly free, as J. Krishnamurti says!
