The Importance of being Persistent and & Taking Risks

As I was browsing the web, I stumbled upon an article that Mr Lee Say Keng posted on his Optimum Performance Technologies' blog. Just a little background; I met Mr Lee Say Keng about 7 years ago and he was one of the great individuals who reviewed my book and was the first few people who helped me to get my book off the ground. I admire him for his great mind and his passion in helping others.

I just thought of sharing that article with you. It is about the Importance of being Persistent and & Taking Risks.

Here it goes:

"To live is to risk dying.
To do is to risk failure.
To laugh is to risk appearing a fool.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To cry is to risk appearing soft and sentimental.
To reach out to another is to risk involvement or rejection.
To place your ideas, dreams, and desires before people is to risk riducule.
The greatest omission in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing gets nothing, has nothing, is nothing.
He may avoid suffering, pain and sorrow, but he does not learn, grow, live, or love.
He is only a slave - chained by safety - locked away by fear.
Only a person who is willing to risk, not knowing the results, is alive."
-Anonymous

Do you agree?

The original post can be found on Mr Say Keng's blog.
