Embrace Risk

Posted on February 19, 2011 by Ronald T. Brown, Ph.D.

Thoughts regarding embracing risk at various points in life:

“Many great ideas have been lost because the people who had them could not stand being laughed at.” ~Author Unknown

“A ship in harbor is safe - but that is not what ships are for.” ~John A. Shedd, Salt from My Attic

“One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.” ~André Gide

“There are those who are so scrupulously afraid of doing wrong that they seldom venture to do anything.” ~Vauvenargues

“Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark; professionals built the Titanic.” ~Author Unknown

“This nation was built by men who took risks - pioneers who were not afraid of the wilderness, business men who were not afraid of failure, scientists who were not afraid of the truth, thinkers who were not afraid of progress, dreamers who were not afraid of action.” ~Brooks Atkinson
