A whole stream of events ensues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.

Give courage to your dreams. Although taking a risk does not guarantee success, avoiding risk does guarantee failure. Risk is not the enemy of achievement. It is a companion of achievement. Only when there's a chance of something going wrong can anything get done right.

Put yourself on the line. Have the confidence to succeed. Give courage to your dreams and they will blossom by your efforts into reality. ~ Unknown author
