Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained

I have heard my Dad say SO many times, "Nothing ventured...Nothing gained". Today it hit me that this completely makes sense, and we should all live our lives by this quote. It makes sense because if we go through life not asking questions and trying new thing then we will never know what is out there for us to experience. There have been so many times when I want to question something or want to try but I don't. WHY? Why not Katie?!!?

Today after Bateman, I decided to walk over to the Admissions and Financial Office to ask a few questions. At first, I really didn't want to and I had no clue what I was going to say. I thought it was going to be stupid because I was going to go in with nothing to really ask. But, I said to myself, "You just never know..." and I thought this could help my group. WOW! The financial aid director was SO nice and she asked questions that stimulated my brain. I gained so much by going and talking with her for 20 minutes.

After going and talking with her I thought to myself, how many times have I thought something was stupid or pointless and skipped? Now I wonder how beneficial these events or actions could have been if I would have gotten over myself!!

My goal is to try to stop over thinking and doubting different activities or events. I want to venture outside of my comfort zone and see what I can experience. Like dad says... "Nothing ventured, nothing gained!"
