“We are afraid to change because we think that, after so much effort and sacrifice, we know our present world. And even though that world might not be the best of all worlds, and even though we may not be entirely satisfied with it, at least it won’t give us any nasty surprises. We won’t go wrong. When necessary, we will make a few minor adjustments so that everything continues in the same way. It’s nice to dream that we will have plenty of time in the future to do the things we want to do. It cheers us up because we know that we are capable of doing more than we do. Dreaming carries no risks. The dangerous thing is trying to transform  dreams into reality. We can go farther than we think. And we will be surprised when we get there how much easier it was than we had imagined.

If you believe adventure is dangerous, try routine it is kills you far more quickly.”
