Take a Risk and Start Winning

Nobody has ever won, excelled and thrived without considering taking a risk once or twice; why be afraid of destiny and miss out on glory? I ventured on the wrong path without wishing upon stars, without tossing a single dice or even consulting that Romanian tarot reader who grinned and compromised, but that long path had only stones and no glorious dreams for a little boy. I sat on that river bend watching how it flowed through harmonious hills, wishing the eastern wind would have carried me to infinity: like a beautiful and bright balloon that soared to meet the widest and bluest sea thirty six miles away, but so impossible it seemed to float over the bubbling waters and follow them until they mixed with the rolling, foaming waves; had I had more confidence in myself by reconsidering daring words such as these, " Take a risk and start winning! " no hope would have been dashed to achieve what others already had!
