"HOW TO GET THERE - FROM HERE"
"To laugh is to risk appearing the fool;
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental;
To reach out for another is to risk involvement;
To expose feelings is to risk exposing our true self;
To place your ideas, your dreams, before the crowd is to risk 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 at all is to risk failure;
But to risk we must,
because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The man, the woman, who risks nothing,
does nothing, has nothing, is nothing."
