Insightful messages of Gerald P R Sacks

Just read a book entitled "Power Phrases, Expressions and Closing Questions" by Gerald P R Sacks and found the following messages insightful:

The risk of not taking risk...

"Those who risk nothing, do nothing, have nothing and will be nothing. They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they will not learn, feel, grow, change, love and live life to the fullest potential. Chained by their attitudes, and bound by shackles to the dungeon of despair, they become slaves who have forfeited their mental freedom. Only people who are willing to take risk are free to create wonderful things in their lives."

Pick your friends carefully...

"Surround yourself with positive thinking people - who would become your friends, who will support you in every way and in whatever you want to do. Be careful of others whom you think are your friends, but who are jealous, negative and do not have your best interest in their hearts."
