To laugh is to risk appearing a fool;
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental;
To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk rejection;
To place your dreams before the crowd is to risk ridicule;
To love is to risk not being loved in return;
To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds 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 love;
Chained by his certitudes,he is a slave,he has forfeited his freedom;
Only a person who takes risks is free.
大笑,会冒显得傻气的风险;
哭泣,会冒显得伤感的风险;
接触他人他事,会冒受牵连的风险;
吐露心声,会冒不被认同的风险;
向大家说出自己的梦想,会冒遭人奚落的风险;
去爱,会冒没有爱的回应的风险;
面对机会勇往直前,会冒失败的风险。
但是,险是一定要冒的,因为人生中最大的危险的是不冒任何风险。
不冒任何风险的人将一事无成,一无所有,一无是处。
他或许能躲避痛苦与悲伤,却无从学习、体验、蜕变、成长和去爱。
不出任何差错的心态牵制着他,那他就是个丧失自由的奴隶,
只有敢去冒险的人才是自由的。
