Comfort Quote by Edward Whitacre, Jr

“Be willing to step outside your comfort zone once in a while; take the risks in life that seem worth taking. The ride might not be as predictable if you'd just planted your feet and stayed put, but it will be a heck of a lot more interesting.” quote by Edward Whitacre, Jr
