SECURITY = MEDIOCRITY.

We all hear this everyday “Safety First” Mary Pickford once commented that, “don’t look at the sudden loss of a habit or way of life as the end of the road, see it instead as only a bend in the road that will open up all sorts of interesting possibilities and new experiences”. If you honestly must be successful, you must either have a chance or take one. You can’t get your head above water if you never stick your neck out.

J.Mason equips this better by stating that; A dream that does not include risk is not really worthy of being called a dream. I believe that a man who leaves nothing to chance will do few things badly, but he will do very few things. If you will never take risks, you will never accomplish great things. Everybody dies, but not everyone has lived.

I believe that, if you don’t risk anything, you will risk even more. Every person in life has a chance to improve himself, but some just don’t believe in taking chances. I agree with L. Platford when he said that; you have all eternity to be cautious, and then you are dead. Being destined for greatness friends requires you to take risks and confront great hazards. I would be happy to be a lion for a day, than be a sheep all my life. Believe me; if you dare for nothing, you need hope for nothing.

Conrad observed that; I encourage boldness because the danger of seniority and pension plans tempt a young man to settle in a rut named security rather than find his own rainbow; In life, you don’t concentrate on risk , you concentrate on results. There is no risk too great to prevent the necessary job from getting done.

Whenever you see a successful person, I guarantee that person took risks and made courageous decisions. Success favors the bold. The world is a book in which those who do not take risks read only one page. Refuse to join the cautious crowd that plays not to lose. Play to win.

If you have found yourself throughout life never scared, embarrassed, disappointed, or hurt, it means you have never taken any chances. If your life is ever going to get better, you will have to take risks. There is simply no way you can grow without taking chances. I summarize this by the words of Herodotus, who said, “It is better by noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to half of the evils we anticipate than to remain in cowardly listlessness for fear of what may happen”.

Remember, saints are sinners who keep on trying, to escape a valley or rut. Keep on trying; keep on moving through the valley. God is with you…..!
