CHAPTER 8 TAKING RISKS
第八章 冒險

Life is either a daring adventure - or it is nothing.
Helen Keller (1880-1968)
生命是勇敢的冒險 – 或者什麼都不是。

So often life is every bit as good, if not better, than the wonderful make-believe movies we love to watch. It has all the same joy and sorrow, mystery and suspense, adventure and excitement, and love and emotion - except it‘s real. Live your life as if it were a great movie –complete with the happy ending.
Anonymous
通常，生命就如同我們愛看的虛幻的電影一樣好，即使不是更好。生命中存在著同樣的歡樂和悲傷，神祕和懸疑，冒險和刺激，愛和感情—只是它是真實的。將生命當成一場很棒的電影來活—用快樂的結局去完成它。
無名氏
