RISK
To
laugh is to risk appearing a fool.
To weep
is to risk appearing sentimental.
To
reach out for another is to risk involvement.
To
expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To
place your ideas, your dreams, before the crowd is to risk their
loss.
To love
is to risk not being loved in return.
To live
is to risk dying.
To hope
is to risk despair.
To try
is to risk failure.
But risks
must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He
may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel,
change, grow, love.. live. Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave:
he has forfeited freedom. Only a person who risks is free. |
'Four things
come not back:
the spoken word, the sped arrow,
time past, the neglected opportunity.'
'The best
students study what they don't know'
'We must stop
teaching that opportunity knocks, it never knocks. You can listen at the
door for ten life times, but you will never hear it knocking.
You are
opportunity you open the door'

To my
children
Each day we
live is the preparation for the future of our life. The acts we sow
today form the harvests for tomorrow's reapings! What we reap today
has been
previously
sown for us by us. Little in life is accidental!
Be not
deceived that youth has special license to waste, to fornicate, to
indulge. The law is clear- the law is changeless and also just- use
what you have that is good on which to build your life. Thus everyday
will produce a succession oh happy, productive tomorrows.
Despair not
for your future prospects in life, in love, in marriage. Your future
is in your own hands. Daily you prepare yourself for the prize or
punishment that is to be yours- Industry goes not unrewarded- not
self- indulgence unpunished. Remember always!
The prize and the price
are usually equal. Doesn't deceive yourself that easy profits are the
key to permanent success. Welcome adversity as a friend, an ally. For
it polishes the metal of the strong and the wise. Also it erodes the
will of the weak, the self indulgent- above all! You are your best
friend or you can be your worst enemy. |
'To be or not
to be'
'It's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all'
'Good things
come to those who wait'
'We accept the
reality of the world with which we're presented'
'Good things
come in small packages'

On Death
'Can death
be sleep, when life is but a dream,
And scenes of bless pass as a phantom by?
The transient pleasures as a vision seen,
And yet we think the greatest pain's to die.
How strange it is that man on earth should roam,
And lead a life of woe, but not forsake
His rugged path; nor dare he view alone
His future doom which is but to awake.'
