To laugh is to risk being a fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out to another is to risk involvement.
To express 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.
The person who risks nothing,does nothing,has nothing and 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.
- Leo Buscaglia

How true!!!
nijakkoo satyavaada maatgaLu. One has to take risk in life, illaandre baduku neerasa annisibidutte.
Also, one should not take risk for the sake. It has no meaning. Risk once taken, one has to be confident enough of getting in return.
Lage Raho with such postings... :-)

You have a unique style of writing. Good. Keep it going. I enjoyed the Stanford fact.
PS: I think you are using my site's sitemeter code in your blog. So can you please correct it. But that's why I found your blog in the first place.
