chapter 8 - dare to risk...

lately, in my life....i dont dare to risk, to hope, to reveal my heart....afraid of getting hurt again...until, lastnite..someone reminds me, the importance of having risk and hope in our life...the importance and the true meaning of loving someone...

that someone said that without hope in our live is like we pray for something that we are not hoping of..
i guess...i need learn to risk and to hope and to trust and to open my heart...again...
loving someone...is to hope...


To 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 hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk to 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.
The pessimist complains about the wind;
The optimist expects it to change;
And the realist adjusts the sails.

William Arthur Ward, "To Risk"

and life..is all 'bout risk
