You never take chances

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Tuesday, 3 Mar '09

“If you're never scared or embarrassed or hurt, it means you never take any chances.”

--Julia Sorel

My Thoughts:
How boring is life if you don’t have any risk, excitement…..involved! And as boring as such a life are those people who never take chances.

Such people take calculated steps and expect calculated outcomes. But life is much more that this. If you are ever scared or embarrassed or hurt then that’s OK. That’s life, all that matters is going ahead.

"I believe that one of life's greatest risks is never daring to risk"

--Oprah Winfrey

My Thoughts:
I remember the first time I had ridden a bicycle, I was afraid that I would fall, hurt myself hurt, broken bones, etc….and so was my Mom, I think she was more worried. But finally I did it…I was riding the bicycle (of course after a few falls). The point here I want to make is that if I had never taken the risk of falling, I would have never be able to know how to ride on a bicycle.

This was a smaller risk I had illustrated here. But what Oprah is talking about is much bigger…..much bigger if you could imagine. By default we are at a Greater risk and to mitigate that we have to take Risk in life.

Do you take the risk by responding to this post?
