Few months back I was at Vellore, and while going through the YWCA canteen at the CMC, Hospital I came across a poster that read somewhat like this

"To laugh is to risk appearing fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To love is to risk not being loved in return
To live is to risk dying
To try is to risk failure
To place idea before a crowd is to risk their loss..."

it is so fundamentally true, nothing in this life can be achieved with fear, the first step is always the hardest and the first step in life is to - Conquer fear. life dosent stop at the fear of ridicule, non-acceptance.... it only stops for us when we choose to be afraid of its challenges.

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

Always believe in what ever little things that you do, believe in them because they carry everything that you are...

" Two paths diverged in a wood,
And I -
I took the one less travelled by,
And this has made all the difference."
