What is risk taking?


What is risk taking?

Risk Taking is Free
  • To laugh is to risk appearing the fool,
  • To weep is to risk appearing sentimental,
  • To reach out for another is to risk involvement,
  • To expose feelings is to risk exposing true self,
  • To place your ideas, your dreams before the 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 risk 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 cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.
  • Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he has forfeited freedom.
  • Only a person who risks - is free.
