35. A Sense of Security p.227

    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. Admittedly, my life is not half as colorful or exciting as other people's, but at least it gives me
a sense of security.
