Quote of the Day

By Paulo Coelho

It is necessary to run risks,
We only properly understand the miracle of life
when we allow the unexpected to happen.

  • In life, you have to take risks in order to get to where you want to be. The only people who are afraid to take risks are those who have given up on life.

  • Without risks you stagnate, there is no progress.
    Sans risque, tu restes stagnant, tu n’avances pas.

  • Taking risk is one of the hardest thing for me to do.. I just remembered a friend telling me that if you’re not too brave to take risks then you’ll never be happy also.. Well i guess she’s right, it really takes a brave soul to jump into something that they’re not sure of. The only consolation for us is that we are not the only ones taking risks, its the whole universe and luckily, we’re still standing now.. taking risks also gives us strength for in the event that we didn’t succeed, it is always human nature for us to struggle and get back to the right track. We just have to be optimistic and to always keep the spirit alive.

  • Risks really make us understand the beauty of life much better even when u do mistakes coz we learn from them..but sometimes for me is also a matter of not hurting the poeple aroun me when is about taking a certain risk…it makes it more difficult ….but still we have to do it..

  • I think, we must see things and persons, as if it is the first and last time we see them. Every instance we must do our utmost and every minute carries all possibilities we have never dreamt off. To live means taking ‘risks’ and miracles happen.

  • Risk – life in 2008 itself is risky. Sometimes having faith alone is taking a risk. Being spiritual and good is not good enough today. Being strong is not good enough – ‘bravery’ seems to be the order of the day. But when the hurdles of life gets higher and more frequent by the day, bravery gets tired and lost in the debris of failed risks and unresponsive faith. And at the end of the day, the last man standing is the brave man , but need he be a good man to other men? I am lost.

  • I’m in the crossroads of my life now Mr. Paulo. Finally, i have the courage to change my life now. I do pray to God that i am making the right decision, the chance of having my family again beside me. The wisdom and insight of your words is a great blessing to me. GOD BLESS YOU!!!!

  • Nothing like running a good risk ,when you know miracles do happen ! Blessings Tania

  • the miracle is dont happened, if so you dont belive the miracles.

  • Everything that you have ever said to me personally it has been inspiring. Theres not a word that has been published under your name that hasnt profoundly impacted my life. Honestly, this is a very true quotation because it is he only way that you learn or that you really notice that what ever it is that you were previously doing was truely right or wrong. One day i hope to inspire the many thousands or atleast a glimpse of the thousands that you have inspired through my own writing. I would like to thank you for the inspiration and for awakening in me the passion for writing that i never knew i had.

  • life as it presents itself is a serious of hurdles and choices helped only by keeping a positive mindset and remembering many others feel exactly how you feel at any given time.life is a game of chance and sometimes blindmans buff.we all stumble .we all fall ,we learn as we go ,yes it would be good to have some of the knowledge i have without the hardships but would i appreciate it ….little risks along the way are good ,but not big gambles,to understand life you do have to have had to lived a little ,hopefully many get to see huge material gain does not equal contentment,before they waste precious time x

  • A risk is an adventure of the body, mind, soul and spirit—
    if we do not take them – our world will stay motionless-
    we have to move with what our hearts say–sometimes wee make mistakes, most of the time as human beings we make mistakes!!!!!
    but a mistake is A Lesson.
    And all lessons build character
    and broaden our view on Life, Love and The Universe……

  • I know that it’s important to take risks. I can see it in other people’s lives. Something good comes out every time.But it when it comes to me I’m so afraid..

    What I find a little sad is that it takes so many years before you understand when to say ‘yes’ to life.
    Risks are exciting, a little dangerous but indeed makes life worth living.
    Today I’m 45, but still young. Hope I will have the chance to take many, many risks in the years to come.
