just as i'm not an optimist, i'm also not a risk-taker, but my husband is. maybe there's a correlation between optimism and taking risks. one of the biggest risks i've taken is writing and publishing a novel. yeah, i'd say that was a huge risk. sure glad i did.

I admit, I'm not a risk-taker, but I wouldn't be where I am now if I'd just sat on my butt!
That was a good post. Thanks for it. Very motivational.
I'm a calculated risk taker...most of the time. Sometimes it's just "let's see what happens" but not with the big stuff. Love these quotes! Thanks!
Food for thought!
Thanks for the quotes. :-)
Awesome post and so true.
