"Success always involves risk. You must take a
chance by investing your time, money, and effort. It
pays to be thoughtful and deliberate in your
analyses of your opportunities, but don't let
timidity hold you back.
Because you have worked hard to develop those things
you must risk, it is natural for you to place a high
value on them. But what use are they if you do not
put them to use? You will recognize opportunity only
to the extent that you are willing to consider
risking your time, money and effort. Being confident
gives you the courage to face risk and act when
opportunity arises.
No one on Earth is going to force success upon you;
you will find it only to the degree that you
actively seek it out".
