To try is to risk failure



         My dictionary tells me that to risk is “to expose oneself to the chance of loss.” I suppose that is true. Another piece of literature I was once given (author unknown) suggests that:
                To laugh is to risk appearing
                To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
                To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
                To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.    
                To love is to risk not being loved in return.
                To live is to risk dying.
                To hope is to risk despair.
                To try is to risk failure.
To place your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd is to risk their loss.

Dear Sir,
Life is all about risk whether personal or professional ,
I like your way of thinking about risk but, I would also want to mention one thing here that
Such Risk Takers Like you need an Insurer like me on the other side to manage it
so never afraid to take risk coz you’ll be covered with insurance i,e,
us ( b’cos we know how to manage risk)
AND AFTER ALL ONLY RISK GENERATES RETURN RITE :)
