In life, there are no safe places
or risk-free activities.
Helen Keller, author, speaker,
and advocate for disabled persons,
asserted, Security is mostly a superstition.
It does not exist in nature,
nor do the children of men
as a whole experience it.
Avoiding danger is no safer
in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
Everything in life brings risk.
It's true that you risk failure
if you try something bold
because you might miss it.
But you also risk failure
if you stand still
and don't try anything new.
G. K. Chesterton wrote,
"I do not believe in a fate that
falls on men however they act;
but I do believe in a fate
that falls on them unless they act."
The less you venture out,
the greater your risk of failure.
Ironically, the more you risk failure
—and actually fail
—the greater your chances of success.

Are you willing to take a risk
—even fail—to have a daring adventure?
You gain strength, courage,
and confidence by every experience
in which you really stop
to look fear in the face.
You must do the thing
which you think you cannot do.
- Eleanor Roosevelt
A coward gets scared and quits.
A hero gets scared, but still goes on.

My friend
I wish for you:
Comfort on difficult days,
Smiles when sadness intrudes,
Rainbows to follow the clouds,
Laughter to kiss your lips,
Sunsets to warm your heart
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
- Leonardo da Vinci
