Motivational Quote - To swear off mistakes is very easy.  All you have to do is swear off having ideas.
SparkPeople Translation
A well-lived life is not for the timid.  The world was never meant to be approached with extra caution and fear of making mistakes.  Kids know that you have to jump in feet first and be willing to take some lumps on the head if you're going to have any fun at all.  When did we stop trying new things? Why did we stop taking risks?  In large part, we're afraid of screwing up. We've settled into our comfort zones and don't want to look like a fool, to ourselves or others.  What's the price we pay for our pursuit of perfection? No growth, no sense of discovery, few real experiences.  The sacrifice isn't worth it.  Are there points in your life that you wish you could have back because you didn't pursue an idea or a new interest?  Those chances are gone forever -- but you'll have more in the future to take full advantage of. It's been said that most people don't learn much that's new past their 20's. That's an awful long time to stay stagnant.  The only mistake you should be afraid to make is not trying.

Chef Meg's Roasted Beet Salad
Submitted By: CHEF_MEG

Beets are an underrated vegetable. They're sweet and flavorful. If you think you don't like them, try them in this recipe. Roasting brings out the beets' natural sweetness, and the feta offers a nice, salty contrast.
TIP: Buy your beets with the greens still attached--it's great way to check for freshness and the greens can be used for another recipe. Full Recipe
