Day with a Difference - April 26, 2006

Today's Inspirational Quote:

The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. - William Arthur Ward

TO RISK - William Arthur Ward

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,
To reach out to 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 hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk failure.

But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live.Only a person who risks isfree.

The pessimist complains about the wind;The optimist expects it to change;And the realist adjusts the sails."
