Daring Adventure - Be Daring Or Be Nothing At All

Helen Keller said:" "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all!"

There is no doubt that life is a daring adventure. And this is how the rich people approach life. They see life as a game - a game they wish to win.

Unless us, they are never left wondering "what if?".

You must decide how you wish to live your life. This is your God-given right, and every day you wake up you make that choice for yourself.

Some people choose to take the safe road, and life for them is good when it is constant, structured and predictable. Others choose to look on life as an adventure, hoping and praying - even needing - that each day will bring them new and ever more exciting challenge. This is what "turns them on", this what makes them tick, this is what gives them life and a reason to get up in the morning. In blogging, at times, you must also yearn for those challenges.

For those who choose the predictable path, nothing could be more crazy, or stressful, than to live life this way, yet for those who choose an unpredictable existence, a life of structure and predictability would be worse than a prison sentence. Each to their own.

However, I assume you are reading this blog article because you are one of those restless souls who needs to seek adventure, although you will have regretted it many times, wishing you had not embarked on such a risky course and promising yourself it would be the last time - yet, given half a chance, you will jump right into the next one. Myself included.

To some this is a burden they carry around their whole lives, while to others it's just what they have to do. Either way, these people are the ones that "make things happen", risking failure, criticism and ridicule throughout their lives (or get grilled in forums and e-bulletin boards). Just a few hundred years ago they would have been burned at the stake, or excommunicated.

The world needs these people, as without them no progress would take place. If they were not prepared to risk everything to create something that nobody has envisaged needing or wanting, we would not have many of the great comforts and conveniences we take for granted today:

Consider this:
* The chief engineer of the British Post Office said in 1876: 'We don't need a telephone, we have plenty of messenger boys'.

* In 1943, the chairman of IBM, Thomas Watson, predicted a world market for just five computers.

* The chief engineer of IBM in 1968 commented about a microchip: 'But what is it good for?'

* Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, said in 1970 that home computers would be a waste of time.

* Both Atari and Hewlett-Packard turned down the idea of a personal computer presented by the developers of Apple and told them to go back to college.

* The great Bill Gates forecast in 1981 that personal computer memory of 640K should be enough for anybody.

Be daring or be nothing at all.
