You cannot discover new lands filled with new opportunities, friendships and partnerships, if you always play it safe never wanting to lose sight of the shore. Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions within life, your life is an experiment.  Any progress worth doing will involve some element of risk; they say you can’t steal second base if you refuse to take your foot off of first. Taking risks is sometimes prone to failure, but without the mistakes we cannot learn to reach success, remember that the torment of precautions often times exceeds the dangers to be avoided when we venture out of our safety bubble. Never be afraid to try something new because you will always miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
