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 EXPRESS FEELINGS IS TO RISK REJECTION.
TO PLACE YOUR DREAMS ABOVE THE CROWD IS TO RISK RIDICULE.
TO LOVE IS TO RISK NOT BEING LOVED.
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.
THAT MAY AVOID SUFFERING AND SORROW,
BUT THEY CANNOT LEARN, FEEL CHANGE, GROW, OR LOVE.
CHAINED BY THEIR CERTITUDES, THEY ARE SLAVES.
THEY HAVE FORFEITED THEIR FREEDOM
ONLY THOSE WHO TAKE RISKS ARE FREE

That's a good reminder, Lizard. A real good reminder.
Reminds me of a quote I have up in my office...
So remember, people are unreasonably illogical and self-centered.
LOVE THEM ANYWAY
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfishness and ulterior motives.
DO GOOD ANYWAY
If you are successful, you will win false friends and make true enemies.
TRY TO SUCCEED ANYWAY
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
BE GOOD ANYWAY
Honesty and frankness will get you nowhere, they make you vulnerable.
BE HONEST AND FRANK ANYWAY
People favor underdogs, but they follow the top dogs.
WELL, FIGHT FOR SOME UNDERDOGS
ANYWAY
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
I’ve seen that happen.
BUILD ANYWAY
People really need help, but they attack you if you try to help them.
TRY ANYWAY
Give the world the best that you have, and you’ll get kicked in the mouth.
GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU HAVE, ANYWAY.
