Dec precept

Fortune favours the bold.

 

What I think this precept means is that if you’re bold and out there taking chances and risks good things can come from it. Fortune means good luck and it favours the bold who take risks. Because if you do nothing, will anything ever happen? Have you ever asked yourself that? I feel like if I sat around all day and did nothing it would be very boring and nothing would ever happen. But if I took risks and chances maybe something good would happen.

 

Here’s an example,

A boy is walking down the street. His name was Daniel. He walked along and then he spotted a young boy standing in an alley trapped by three older boys about his age. He was suspicious so he walked down the alley and said “What are you guys doing?” the small boy was shaking as the older three boys turned to face Daniel “What does it matter to you?” the biggest boy asked. The other two chuckled. “It matters because it looks like that boy there doesn’t want to be here.” Daniel said confidently. “Oh. Fine whatever.” The biggest guy said and he and the other two boys left. “You okay? Did they hurt you?” Daniel asked the boy. “No I’m fine. Thanks” The boy said. Then later while you’re online you see a picture of you saving the boy. And you become popular. Fortune favoured the bold didn’t it?
