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 your feelings is to risk exposing your true self.

To place your ideas, your dreams before a crowd is to risk.

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 because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing at all.

The person who risk nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing.

They may avoid suffering and sorrow but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, live and love.

Chained by their certitudes, they are a slave. They have forfeited their freedom.

Only a person who risks is free.

Very True

Read it and weep............

The Nature of Risk Taking.

A very good read.

A person who risks is also free to be condemned for being a fool when all about them is saying "once burned twice shy", or "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me", Don't you think? ...

Not that I subscribe personally to any of what I have just asked. I am very much a risk taker, but I have heard and experienced all the condemnation for being like that.


Is there middle ground here?

1st time a victim, any time after that a volunteer..

My granny always said "once is a mistake but twice or three times is a habit!"

I like to gamble on baseball games a lot. I'm up babyee.....gotta risk big to win big and buy some individual/financial freedom...shhh...don't tell Serenity about this. She gets all quiet when I talk about my venture risks....can't wait till Football season....there is no system for winning games there....so it's funner to go by pure intuition.....

hahaha

Nice Pat thankyoooo

Oooh... I don't know



All of that sounds kinda risky. So, in a sense... life itself is pretty much one big risk.

WE ALL TAKE RISKS EVERY DAY OF OUR LIVES, WITHOUT EVEN RAELIZING. BUT TO PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE AND RISK INTENTIONALLY CAN LEAVE YOU VULNERABLE!!!!! BUT IN THE BIG SCHEEM OF THINGS. THE GREATEST REWARDS WE GET FROM LIFE ALL BEGIN WITH THE BIG RISKS!!!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY IN RELATIONSHIPS.

Very Very True.
