Whales only get harpooned when they come to the surface and turtles can only move forward when they stick their neck out but investors face risk no matter what they do.
During the first period of a mans life the greatest danger is not to take the risk. When once the risk has really been taken then the greatest danger is to risk too much.
The pleasure of risk is in the control needed to ride it with assurance so that what appears dangerous to the outsider is to the participant simply a matter of intelligence skill intuition coordination in a word experience. Climbing in particular is a paradoxically intellectual pastime but with this difference: you have to think with your body. Every move has to be worked out in terms of effort balance and consequences. It is like playing chess with your body. If I make a mistake the consequences are immediate obvious embarrassing and possibly painful. For a brief period I am directly responsible for my actions. In that beautiful silent world of the mountains it seems to me worth a little risk.
It is not in giving life but in risking life that man is raised above the animal; that is why superiority has been accorded in humanity not to the sex that brings forth but to that which kills.
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk being called sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas your dreams before the crowd is to risk being called naive. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair and 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 and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live. Chained by his certitudes he is a slave hes forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free.
It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live al all. And often enough our faith beforehand in an uncertified result is the only true thing that makes the result come true.
