An author once said "If you take risks, you may fail. But if you do no take risks, you will surely fail. The greatest risk of all is to do nothing." This simply means that from taking chances you may learn. From failure comes achievement and from learning comes wisdom. The worst choice is to do nothing.
The above statement is based true based on the novel The Anthem written by Ayn Rand and the novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde written by Robert Louis Stevenson.
The Anthem was about a young man named Equality 7-2521 who lived in the dark ages of the future.

He lost his place in his community but gained the love of the woman of his choice, independence, and values which he loved much more. Equality 7-2521 was forced to start his life over in a new place, which was very hard for him since he was used to a group of people's help. But in order to gain independence he had to sacrifice many things that he was used to.
