DARE TO RISK
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 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 attitude,
they are slaves;
they have forfeited their freedom.
Only a person who risks
is free.
This is not mine. I wanted to share this to everyone who wish to read this
