- Almost 20 years ago today, I disclosed an awesome piece of composition written by unknown author. My short and simple learning from the poem is 'It is better to live in a full of risk life rather than to 'live' in a fancy death.' To me, to risk is not merely an accessory of life, but is intrinsically part of the life itself. To avoid risk is therefore to escape from the wonderful and full of surprise life graciously granted by God. Please read the lines attentively, and start your life with a new fresh perspective!
- ONLY A PERSON WHO RISKS IS FREE
- To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
- To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
- To reach for another is to risk involvement.
- To expose your ideas, your dreams,
- 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 believe is to risk despair.
- To try is to risk failure.
- But risks must be taken,
- because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
- The people who risk nothing,
- do nothing, have nothing, are nothing.
- They may avoid suffering and sorrow,
- but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.
- Chained by their attitudes they are slaves;
- they have forfeited their freedom.
- Only a person who risks is free.
