Lesson 35 A Sense of Security

Some people take the view that sometimes in life we have to take chances in order to make progress.I admire such people.It certainly takes courage to take risks.Maybe it's due to my upbringing,but I am the type who likes to play it safe.

People like me believe in the saying,"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." Conservative? as it may be,it keeps me out of trouble.I must confess,however,that such a lifestyle may,at times,be boring.Admmittedly,my life is not half as colorful or exciting as other people's,but at least it gives me sense of security.
