Tick, tick says the clock,
marches on without a knock.
If you fail to keep pace with time,
you are bound to be left behind.
The dreamer with cold feets,
sets himself up for a cold defeat.
If you are afraid to take a leap,
you might get stuck in the heap.
Play safe, stay safe,
motto of the risk-aversed.
If you always avoid uncertainty,
painful regret will be a guarantee.
Take the time to do the math,
then with faith venture into the path.
Fortune, they say, awaits the brave,
and your lot in life will be one of grace.
