“Sometimes the unknown seems like the worst place to consider choosing. However, if you know there is something more to what you desire beyond what’s known to you now, why not venture into the unknown? There are no boundaries or restrictions until you create them.”

“Don't refuse to risk, if you succeed you will be pleased, if you fail you will be prudent.”
