Message from Gio Sabio
"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 one's 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.
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is
to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing,
Does nothing,
Has nothing and is nothing.
He may avoid sufferings and sorrows,
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."
-- Leo Buscalia
"I still believe in paradise. But now at least I know it's not some place you can look for, cause it's not where you go. It's how you feel for a moment in your life... and if you find that moment... it lasts forever..." -- Richard, The Beach
"All great things take their own time." -- Oprah Winfrey
"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares drop off like autumn leaves."
-- John Muir
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person
that wasn't supposed to
ever let you down probably will. You will have your
heart broken probably
more than once and it's harder every time. You'll
break hearts too, so
remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a
new love for things an old one did. You'll cry
because time is passing too fast, and you'll
eventually lose someone you love. So take too many
pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never
been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend
upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get
back.
Don't be afraid that your life will end,
be afraid that it will never begin.
