For you to think and ponder
”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 place your ideas 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 risks 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.”
”It seems to me that people have vast potential. Most people can do extraordinary things if they have the confidence or take the risks. Yet most people don’t. They sit in front of the telly and treat life as if it goes on forever.”
Philip Adams

”What you have to do and the way you have to do it is incredibly simple. Whether you are willing to do it is another matter.” Peter Drucker
