I've been flirting too much with danger, playing around with fire, and walking around with a jerry can full of kerozene. The situation is akin to a juggler, juggling chainsaws about. (Look ma, no hands!) Like how a friend puts it, I keep running away from the dragon, but one day, it'll play catch up, and consume me, and I know it. But well, this is the life the way I want it...
Risk-taking is not seen as a good thing by many. They think too much about the bad things that may befall them, as compared to the good things that may arise from their risk-taking endeavour. And as a result, they stagnate, and do not progress. Things remain the way it is, predictable, boring, uneventful and frustrating.
If you love somebody, you let them go. I say this is just a load of crap in some terms. If you love somebody, treasure them and cherish their presence. Tell him that you love him. And make your intentions known. Hearing someone lose hope over a love just because of this saying, tickled my funny bones. Are you afraid that he'll reject you? Why dwell on the bad outcome, when you should be thinking more of the good ones? If you're so afraid, make use of Valentine's Day or their birthday! It is a great excuse to do something cheesy for him/her.
Gee...
Rejection is part and parcel of life. Its a by-product of risk-taking. Imagine the insurance agent who approaches you at the MRT stations, bus-stops and shopping centres. Can you think of the number of times he gets rejected by passers-by before he manages to find somebody who'll sign up for his insurance plan? If my guess is right, for every 50 people who rejected him, he'll find only 1 person. If he's lucky, maybe 2. So what keeps him going? The fact that he knows statistics doesn't lie; try 50 times, and you'll get lucky once.
Riding a bike is a risk by itself. We all know that motorcyclists are more vulnerable than motorists on the 4-wheeled vehicles, but yet, there's still people who ride. Men, women, of all ages! Why? Because it is a cheap, economical and convenient mode of transport. To put things into perspective, it costs more for me to travel to town in a car, or the train/bus, than on my bike. On top of that, I could get there quicker, and I do not have to worry if the train or bus will come on time, or whether there is a delay. Traffic? Well, bikes thrive in heavy traffic!
I've discovered the joys of risk-taking one too many times. It is an oppurtunity to break away from a repetitive routine, do something new, find someone interesting to exchange ideas with, find a partner and maybe make something out of the risk. Life, without risk-taking, is boring. You mean, you live a planned life, and stick to it till the day you die? Where is the fun in it? To remain where you are isn't wrong, but to improve and progress is what we should seek and persevere towards!
