Proverb: Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Doing the safe thing is easy, comfortable and seemingly the sensible way of going about something.
However, you can’t expect to achieve your dreams if you don’t take chances or risks.
In English, we have the proverb, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
It means that if you don’t try, you will never succeed.
Sure, we may fail when we try something new or go out on a limb.
So, who cares?
If you fail, you fail.
You wake up the next morning, and you try again.
Choosing the safe way of doing things guarantees yourself a life of nothingness.
Everybody has hopes and dreams.
The only way to make these dreams a reality is to do them.
When you get out of bed tomorrow morning, remember the proverb Nothing ventured, nothing gained and don’t be afraid to go out on a limb to make your dreams become a reality.
Nothing is impossible.
