wealth and fame may pass away,
bring no joy or lasting pleasure.
true love abides all way.
through the world i'll gladly go,
if one true love i know."

Risk defines life.
In other words, no risk = no life. Just leading a humdrum existence. No lustre. :) ;)

*************

Must admit that's what's become of me now. A lonely drifter. A ship without a rudder. A barquentine aimlessly searching for berth. :(

"Prosperity is never a given. It must be earned. The journey is never one of shortcuts or settling for less. It is not the path for the fainthearted -- for those who prefer leisure over hard work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it is the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things -- some celebrated, but more often men and women obscure in their labour -- who carry themselves up the long, rugged path toward prosperity and freedom. (Sic)"  :) ;)

“Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it's business or baseball, or the theater, or any field. If you don't love what you're doing and you can't give it your best, get out of it. Life is too short. You'll be an old man before you know it.”  :) ;)
