The tightrope walker.
Standing tall though he may fall.
Courageous, reckless.

The author's comments:
We are all like tightrope walkers. To succeed in life, we have to take a chance. We have to have a bit of courageous and bit of insanity. That is the only way to make life worthwhile.

It's so true. Unless you take risks in life you can't succeed. Love this! It's a little proverb.
