The day will come when I will die. So the only matter of consequence before me is what I will do with my allotted time. I can remain on shore, paralyzed with fear, or I can raise my sails and dip and soar in the breeze. The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them. Henry David Thoreau.
Some people love to lead, some refuse to dance.
Some play it safely, others take a chance. Most live as oysters, while some become pearls. If you take no risks, you'll never be hurt, but you won't really live, either. Nobody who tries to do something great but fails is a total failure. Robert H. Schuller Do the thing you fear most and the death of fear is certain.
