A nice thought I thought worth sharing, if obliquely soTo laugh is to risk appearing a fool,
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out to another is to risk involvement,
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas and 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 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.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow,
But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live.
Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.

Pero los riesgos deber ser tomados, porque el peligro mas grande en la vida es no arriesgarse.

Se pueden evitar sufrimientos y preocupaciones, pero simplemente no se puede aprender, sentir, cambiar, crecer, amar y vivir...
Sólo una persona que se arriesga es libre.
