To Risk 冒險

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk rejection.
To place your dreams before the crowd is to risk ridicule.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds is to risk failure.
想大笑，可卻要冒會讓自己顯得很傻的風險；
想哭泣，可卻要冒會讓人感覺自己很傷感的風險；
想接近其他事，可卻要冒會讓自己受牽連的風險；
想吐露心聲，可卻要冒會遭人排斥的風險；
想向大家說出自己的夢想，可卻要冒會遭人奚落的風險；
想愛一個人，可卻要冒別人會不愛自己的風險；
想面對機會勇往直前，可卻要冒會遭受失敗的風險。

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 love.
Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave.
He has forfeited his freedom.
Only a person who takes risks is free.
但是，冒險是一定要冒的，因為生活中最大的危險的事是不冒任何風險。
不冒任何風險的人將一事無成，一無所有，一無是處。
他可以把苦難和辛酸規避掉，但是他不能從中學習、感受、改變、成長和愛。
被萬事確定無疑才去干的心態束縛著，他就是個奴隸，
他喪失了自己的自由。
只有敢去冒險的人才是自由的。
