A wonderful newspace.com friend has written to me the following:
It is difficult to trust, especially if we have been hurt many times. It is difficult to take a chance and risk possibly being hurt or disappointed.
Just today, a Yahoo friend in Nigeria contacted me, after a months of silence. He is a biochemistry major, hoping to do graduate study in Europe or America. I told him to join myspace.com and network for contacts in his field. I was somewhat flabbergasted when he asked “Will they help me come to the USA?” I said, “Who knows what they will do! You may find a woman to marry you. Anything is possible. But if you never try and never ask, you will never know. Never underestimate the power of friendship and human compassion.”
There is a wonderful psychologist, Alfred Adler, who was a disciple of Freud, and served as President of the Vienna circle in the early days. Adlerean psychology is still quite popular in the UK. Adler wrote a wonderful book for the layperson entitled, “What Life Should Mean for You.”

Adler comments that one great mistake many people make in life is not taking enough risks. When the worst thing that can possibly happen is to hear “No” or hear nothing, then there is possibly much to be gained by taking a chance and making an effort.
There is an old song, “Taking a Chance on Love.” We should take a chance on friendship.
Take a chance on life. Remember the Lotto Motto “You can’t win if you don’t play.”
