The Greatest Risk Is To Risk Nothing

I'd Like To Be Remembered For Being A Good, Kind, Loving, Gentle Man Who Attempted To Live Wisely, And Who Cared A Lot.

He Must Understand That If He Is The World's Finest Plum And Someone He Loves Does Not Like Plums, He Has The Choice Of Becoming A Banana. But He Must Be Warned That If He Chooses To Become A Banana, He Will Be A Second Rate Banana. But He Can Always Be The Best Plum.

I Am Often Accused Of Being Childish. I Prefer To Interpret That As Child-like. I Still Get Wildly Enthusiastic About Little Things. I Tend To Exaggerate And Fantasize And Embellish. I Still Listen To Instinctual Urges. I Play With Leaves. I Skip Down The Street And Run Against The Wind. I Never Water My Garden Without Soaking Myself. It Has Been After Such Times Of Joy That I Have Achieved My Greatest Creativity And Produced My Best Work.

The Human Need To Play Is A Powerful One. When We Ignore It, We Feel There Is Something Missing In Our Lives.

We All Need To Be Recognized For What We're Doing, For Our Work. Every Once In A While We Need Someone To Come Up To Us And Say, 'you're Beautiful. That Was Well Done. That's Nice.'
