It is said that life is all about taking risk. Is that really so?

I have always told myself, when i'm still (relatively) young, I should try out new things and take risks. But everytime I faced with such an opportunity, I will fail to fulfil what I wanted to do. So do I count myself as a failure?

Life is short, actually very short. I watched a video posted on Facebook in the morning, You really don't know when will be your last breath or when will it be the last time you are stepping foot on ground. Things sometimes just come and go without any warning. When HE wants you back with him, there is no way for you to reject.

There is this poster I saw from my primary school days, which till now is still so fresh in my head. "When you are born, people around you smile while you cry. But when you leave this world, people around you will cry while you smile."

Will we really leave smiling? Will we already left a mark on this Earth for people to remember us? Just something for everyone to thing about.

I'm not emo, this is just something which suddenly struck me while typing. I have not planned what I want to say when I opened up blogger.
