Hesitations can kill a man's future. A single backstep could mean the loss of something much more important than the interest of self preservation. If you want something, or someone, go for it... Take a chance. The probability of failure is only definite when one does not do anything.But...
Will you risk it? For an ounce of glory even you have the choice of backing away. When you can stand down against the unknown and return to living a long borish life so easily becoming forgotten like yesterday's breakfast or like Dr. Adeva's Neurology classes (IMO: I just dont recall anything, sorry T_T)
Living a long life in itself is a good thing. But that only counts when there is something to look forward too (e.g. having $1Million to spend every week counts $,_,$) right? However, what if the question to living long goes like... HOW LONG CAN YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELF? Knowing all chances to prove your worth is gone? With the last flicker of hope to attain your dreams long been extinguished. Surrendering to a life in a cage and retreating to your pathetic little corner you consider safe. Where no one can inflict you harm. Yet, losing the freedom to celebrate the goodness in life. Now, maybe the question is... IS THAT LIFE EVEN WORTH LIVING?
Earlier, I saw a crazy man going to and fro along the street trying to attract some attention. I thought, what problems caused his breakdown? Did he try to hide behind walls or did he charge straight at what life threw at him? Maybe he had guts to take chances. Maybe it's the misery of failure that led to his sanity's demise. Failure from love? Work? Education? Finances? Or maybe he hesitated because he was afraid he may come short fo his goals. WHich is better... A fool who cannot accept defeat or someone who calls himself wise by standing still in place afraid to take the next step because it could be a trap door instead of a pedestal.
But how come we do not take chances sometimes, even for things that matters most to us? Is it fear? I say no. One can never be old enough to not be afraid. The problem is due to our heart's failure to accept that fear. We opt for alternatives (e.g. saying better things may come later or she's/he's not worth the trouble) eventhough we know there is none. Leading to loneliness and wishful thinking and heartbreaks. Life is a gift, right? We must celebrate it. Cultivate it. Fight for it. Dont go living like a ghost.
But for what reasons should we fight? Here's an dialogue from the movie "The American President". I hope it answers something...
President (Michael Douglas) : AJ, we fight the fights we can win!
Chief of Staff (Martin Sheen) : Sir, WE FIGHT THE FIGHTS THAT NEEDS FIGHTING...
Which one are you??? ^,_,^
