“Fortune favours the bold”
Virgil- the Aeneid
“The bold” is not an elite group of people bread from greatness. No, boldness is an individual quality that divides risk takers from comfort seekers. To excel in life, we must all take risks- to be bold is to take risks. The more a person ventures away from what is comfortable, the more rewarding his/her life will be. To explicate, we all have a desire to pursue a career that provides us with the most money and other benefits. Consequently, the majority of our life is spent on the straight and narrow path chasing comforts and luxuries. However, from personal experience, I understand that fortune is not entirely monetary. Instead, I believe fortune comes to those that experience all facets of life and its offerings (i.e. travel, variety in work- course work and job opportunities, etc.) As a result, exposure to things that are unfamiliar will award us with our most invaluable experiences
