Don't be afraid of change. If you don't change, you become insignificant. Don't be afraid of delving into new waters. Don't get stuck doing same thing over and over again, it's boring. The life is in the risk. The life is in the new!!!! If your idea isn't working or you are stagnant, don't stick to the Glorious' past, take the risk and move on. It's far better than being stagnant.
