There are three caterpillars on the leaf of the tree. If one of them decided to jump off the leaf, onto the ground, how many caterpillars are left on the leaf? The answer is THREE!
Shocked….
Thinking Why?
Simple that’s because caterpillar decided to jump! But it didn’t!
Don’t you think we are exactly the same as the caterpillar. Who decides to this, do that, make plans, but finally ends up doing nothing?
Be True to yourself, and most of you will find the answer YES!
In day to day life, we make out so many decisions. Some Hard ; Some easy.
If you think silently you will come to know that “Most mistakes are not made by wrong decisions”.
“But most mistakes are made because of the indecisions”.
We have to live with the consequences of our decisions and that is Risk !!
- To laugh is to risk appearing a fool.
- To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
- To reach our to another is to risk involvement.
- To expose feelings is to risk exposing our true self.
- To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk the loss.
- To love is to risk not being loved in return.
- To live is to risk dying.
- To hope is to risk despair.
- To try is to risk failure
Bur risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does noting, has nothing, is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has fortified his freedom. Only a person who risks is free.
In the end, “The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist is to open change; the realist adjusts the sails”.

very "risky" article...good to read...
decisions are depending upon one's goal and objective. it is applicable to every part of life whether it is personal, professional or spirtual. professional decisions are sometimes attach with your personal goal(s).But if one is clear about himself or herself, there will be no confusion.
Only those people who dare to take risks have the capability to change their own lives and this world.
Nice post Aparna...
If you have to grow, there is a need to take risk but when is something one has to decide. Risk should always been taken seeing all the prons and cons and If your "heart" says Yes to it... then go for it...
