"To try is to risk failure. But risks need to be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing. They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel change, grow, love and live. Chained by their certitudes, they are a slave; they have forfeited their freedom. Only a person who risks is free.”

Math is not my strong suit. There, I said it. Every time I see a math problem; my heart beats very fast, I start to perspire and I gasp for air. I feel like somebody needs to discover a cure for it. Maybe an allergy shot for example. You know, something like they've got for an anaphylactic shock; that's just a big, fancy word for having a severe allergy attack.

Yesterday, I went to a park to walk and enjoy the fresh smell of spring. It was a sunny day. A man was sitting on a bench, he was reading a newspaper. A little boy was sitting beside him, then a woman came with three ice-creams in her hands. She sat on the bench beside the little boy and gave him an ice-cream.

Eating healthy is important.

No kidding! It is a serious issue when it comes to growing children, because what's known as the junk food (not to them of course!) is ruining their healthy eating habits.
