Quote from Roy T. Bennett
Don’t JustDon’t just learn, experience.Don’t just read, absorb.Don’t just change, transform.Don’t just relate, advocate.Don’t just promise, prove.Don’t just criticize, encourage.Don’t just think, ponder.Don’t just take, give.Don’t just see, feel.Don’t just dream, do. Don’t just hear, listen.Don’t just talk, act.Don’t just tell, show.Don’t just exist, live.
I don’t so much mind looking back on having lost the election, or having been denied a role in the play, or having had my novel repeatedly rejected, or having been turned down for a date, or recalling laughter at my expense when I attempted some silly challenge. Those things simply prove that I lived life. What I do mind, however, is looking back on the lost opportunities where imagined concerns kept me from even trying—lose or win. I’ve learned that there is no regret in a brave attempt, only in cowering to fear.
