LIFE IS A RISK
To learn to walk, we must risk falling over.
To make a dollar, we must risk losing it.
In loving and caring, we risk breaking our hearts.
Getting a job is a risk.
Crossing the road is a risk.
Eating in the restaurant is a risk.
Starting a family is a risk.
Life is a risk.
Winners take more risk than losers.
That is why they win so much.
Necessarily then, winners lose more than losers,
but they are playing so often that their wins add up.
We have a choice between living and merely existing.
