Risk
May/098
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 your true self
To play 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
Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave
He has forfeited freedom
Only a person who risks…..is free

Very true all the above…He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love
Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave
He has forfeited freedom
Only a person who risks…..is free

yes, very true.if you cant risk,then you are really a good for nothing person because you can never achieve anything.How do you expect to enjoy your investment if you are afraid of investing? i truly agree with the author/writer.Good work, please look for more.I think this will make people to start believing in them selves.

Risk is is change it is the only thing that with or without permission would happen just give it time and space. once you fail inlife to risk you are living empty. it is just as saying you do not want to die yet you have life. iots better not to have life rather not hoping to die one day. so i agree entoto with the author that risk is a must that is the only way to learn, apprecite, share, teach, improve and change the world and one self for better.
RISK I SHALL RISK RISK TO IMPROVE MY CONDITION FROM NOW IREESPECTIVE OF THE ANTICIPATED CONSEQUENCES.

I believe that those that love have failed still need to give it a chance again, he/she have to take another risk and to give it a trial. And those that cannot afford to risk it, still need to give it a trial as well.Those that has not take any risk, will have no love, feeling and affection.

Take risks. Spread your wings and fly.
Break your chains. Live.Open your heart.
Allow your self to feel. Life is short.
Don’t waste a minute…….

My Sweetie Baby, ” BARRY”, We risk our friendship to grow into a strong LOVE, not knowing how to achieve our dreams because we’re far apart. I took a Big Risk, I saved money, and went to TENNESSEE, to meet you personally. It was such a long trip, my first time ever to get out of the country, but I made it to you, because OUR STRONG LOVE , encouraged me, and I was so determined to meet the person I ever LOVE, You My dearest. My Risk was paid off, because I’m able to see YOU every year now. I Love You, ” NO MATTER WHAT”, hugs and kisses dear……J..ROOpach..AUS.
