"Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity; they seem more afraid of life then of death." - James F. Byrnes

No one ever got anywhere by playing it safe, by relying on the known instead of the possibility of a better unknown. There are risks to be taken everyday, allowing you a brief opportunity, for one moment of one day, to throw the rule book out the window, to dispel that which you know is good for that which may be infinitely better.

You are dull, listless, disheartening. You spout morals and intelligence, but I know you for what you are. You are a hypocrite. You attempt to live life to the fullest....by playing it safe. That is not living life, that is living death. Jump, without knowing where you'll land, reach without seeing around the corner, think with the knowledge that there is no limit to human potential. Do this, not for me, or your parents, of for the sense of debt you have to the world in which you stand. Rather, do this for yourself, for the self is the biggest source of criticism.

"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary." --Sir Cecil Beaton

Be anything, say anything, do anything...just don't disappoint me. I can't take any more disappointment.
