"nothing ventured"

[Gerianne]

 could be "nothing lost"
instead of 'gained'.

[skrogman]

Nope, I'm gonna disagree with you here.  Lots of times in my life when I have put forth no effort lots has been lost and it is only my own fault.  Nothing ventured could mean a lot of loss in some cases.  Just my little 2 cents worth.

Someday you question everything:  why venture at all?   What would you gain and is it worth it?

I like that one! It is so true.

[cwillard1]

So very true.

When one "ventures" into something, there is at least knowledge gained whether venture results in success or failure.

Like the Edison quote from the movie "National Treasure" - that Thomas Edison didn't fail, rather he discovered 2000 ways how NOT to make a lightbulb.

Amen!  Can't win if you don't play!

Glass half full VS glass half empty? I prefer to look at the optimistic side of things and put everything I can into what I do.  Fusion cash for instance. I miss maybe four to six days a year because I am out of contact zones. But for the other three hundred and sixty days I am here posting, clicking, opening e-mails, performing tool bar searches and listening to the radio and it has been paying off.  I haven't been venturing into the gym lately so I have lost my body but gained some unwanted fat!  Kind of a double edged interpretation of your initial statement!  I have been pushing myself at work and have gained respect, cash and a big headache!

hmmm ... I think your glass is half empty instead of half full
