“When the serpent of fear crosses your path to the temple of experience, do not hesitate—cut off its head. When you do something for the first time and it is not detrimental to your physical, mental, financial or spiritual health, take a bold step forward. The true Warrior always advances, and does not even step backward to gather momentum. Do not let your fears prevent you from living out your dreams.”
Shuang Nu drew close to the Emperor and whispered in his ear: “No risk, no enjoyment. Only the brave have extraordinary things happen to them.”
