The idiom “nothing ventured nothing gained” is said to date back to the English author Geoffrey Chaucer. It’s the gist behind Ecclesiastes 11:4, which reminds us that one who observes the wind will not sow, and one who regards the clouds will not reap. In other words, if you wait for conditions to be perfect, then you won’t get anything done. Cloud and wind conditions have their place, like for airline flights. As for you, don’t wait on the wind or the clouds before you take action. You need to step out to find out.
