RULES

QUESTIONS The quality of your life, will be determined by the quality of your questions… To others… and to yourself !

Risk To laugh is to risk appearing the fool… To weep is to risk appearing sentimental… To reach out to others is to risk getting involved… To show your feeling is to risk showing your true self… To place your ideas out before the crowd is to risk being called naïve… To love is to risk not being loved in return… To live is to risk dying…
To hope is to risk despair and to try is to risk failure… But risks MUST be taken, because the greatest risk in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live. Chained by his certitudes, he's a slave. He’s forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free.
So I challenge each of you… To risk being different, to risk being special, to risk living a life of your own making. A life of love and joy and happiness and success and achievement. A life that you design. That you create. That you start building… today.
“The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. ” Thank You www. John. Spence. com
