The only place I do that, and rarely, is at work. A lot of people respect my work because of it. Maybe I need to take the risk. But risk involves chance; chance involves random; random can only be so calculated. But chance can lead to great things. Chance lead Hill Harper from law to acting. Chance leads people from success to failure as well. What am I supposed to do? Hmmm, what’s this? Someone trying to sneak up on me. I’ll walk slower. I’ll let them catch up. God help them if they’re trying to rob me. “Hey,” a voice said. There is no time to spare. If it’s going to happen, it’s going happen now. Be ready. Don’t hold back….
