Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, there were two young mice. They lived in a beautiful valley at the foothills of this mountain range called Ambition.
The older mouse -Rudolph, wanted it all - he wanted to burrough deep into the ground at the foothills and find his way right up to the summit. The younger one - Randolph, was a little more circumspect. He thought life was all about minimizing risks and thought "What if I get lost?" When he voiced this concern to Rudolph, he was told "You think that by living here and being what you are, you aren't taking a risk?" Randolph said: "No, I'm not. I know this life. I understand it.".
Rudolph smiled and asked him "What if I told you that you're taking the biggest risk of all; that you're simply following the herd? You don't even know where you want to go in life. I, at least, know that. Sure, the road's difficult, but if I don't go down that road, I'll never know. That to me is much worse than the possibility of getting lost ..."
Rudolph left and Randolph stood there, watching him walk away ...
