Risking sometimes means losing. And when we lose, we must recover. For many it is a moral compass, a spirituality, a belief in God. For others, it may be family or friends. In my own life, I've taken may risks.
Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
In your life, you'll be faced with decisions of your own. Don't be afraid to lose. Whatever choices you make will also produce unexpected opportunities. The danger of planning out your life to the last detail is that you effectively eliminate those enriching opportunities before they present themselves. Be eager to dream.
