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 rejection;

To place your dreams before the crowd is to risk ridicule;

To love is to risk not being loved in return;

To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds 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 cannot learn,feel,change,grow or love;

Chained by his certitudes,he is a slave,he has forfeited his freedom;

Only a person who takes risks is free.

大笑，會冒顯得傻氣的風險；

哭泣，會冒顯得傷感的風險；

接觸他人他事，會冒受牽連的風險；

吐露心聲，會冒不被認同的風險；

向大家說出自己的夢想，會冒遭人奚落的風險；

去愛，會冒沒有愛的回應(yīng)的風險；

面對機會勇往直前，會冒失敗的風險。

但是，險是一定要冒的，因為人生中最大的危險的是不冒任何風險。

不冒任何風險的人將一事無成，一無所有，一無是處。

他或許能躲避痛苦與悲傷，卻無從學習、體驗、蛻變、成長和去愛。

不出任何差錯的心態(tài)牽制著他，那他就是個喪失自由的奴隸，

只有敢去冒險的人才是自由的。
