A Conversation about Risk


You can’t - I did.
You daren’t - I dared.

You have no need to dream.
Dreaming opens possibilities.

School is too hard for you.
It took me longer, but I learned anyway.

No one will hire you.
I found someone who did.

You’ll never get a driver’s license.
I’ll never know till I find out what regulations I need to follow.

No one will want to marry you.
The love of my life proposed.

You’ll never be able to raise children.
Together we raised a family.

Who will take care of you when you’re old.
I’m not old yet, but so far I’ve taken care of myself!

“If one is forever cautious, can one remain a human being?”
~ Aleksander Solzhenitsyn
