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.

Extracted from "Being Happy" by Abdrew Matthews

He who learns, teaches : Ethiopian Proverb

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centred; Forgive them anyway
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, others may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people may often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is all between you and GOD; It was never between you and them anyway.
