"You'll never know till you try".

Leevend

    A gamble...that's the first thing that pops in my mind when I hear this phrase. Numerous times have I heard this phrase till I can't get it out. Traumatic it was, exciting it is, unpredictable it will be.

A journey,

To a faraway land,

An asphalt path,

bifurcating at some point,

A choice has to be made.

To try or not to try; that is the question.

Life is like a roulette,                                           A thick cloud of mist; a diverged path is found,

The betting begins,                                              The path behind shadowed by darkness,

One number; many possibilities,                          One target; infinite destinations,                    

Take a leap of faith; choose a number,                 Believe; choose a path; march forward,

Wheel starts spinning,                                         The mist slowly subsides,

Ball stops; a number shown,                               The path ahead eventually unfolds.

To lose money; but not to regret,                        A dead end, but no worries.
To reflect on the croupier's spinning style,           To reflect on the journey and the surroundings,
To learn about the game,                                   Only to gain this priceless artifact of life; experience,
A better gamble next,                                        A better path next,
Factored not by luck, but by thought.                Factored not by coincidence, but by knowledge and instinct.

Finally, the thick mist has started to subside. Only this time, I see a town ahead. Maybe this is it. Maybe not. Oh well, I've travelled far and wide. Many steps forward I have taken. A couple more ain't gonna hurt. I've got a gut feeling...This is the end of the beginning. Soon, the beginning of the end shall unfold...a new 42 shall await me. Well, no matter the outcome this journey may uncover, if you never try, you'll never know. And I'm glad i tried.

Au revoir,
I will be back.
