‘The counsel of Gandalf was not founded on foreknowledge of safety, for himself or for others,’ said Aragorn. ‘There are some things that it is better to begin than to refuse, even though the end may be dark.’ — The Two Towers
My Take – There are no promises in life. Life does not care if you live or die, feast or starve, wither or thrive. Those who succeed are those who choose to act, even knowing how badly the odds are stacked against them. Successful businesses aren’t started by the cautious. Successful free people aren’t sustained by playing it safe.

/ September 4, 2012Jesus said we would have troubles in this life; if we refuse to rise to the challenge; are we not cowards?
We may not win, we may not even make a good showing in all we do; but we can make a good try.
