Is it better to try and fail, or to never have tried? A simple enough question, but it comes down to it, how many of us can admit that we're too afraid of failing to ever try?

I'd say to try and fail, so that you won't at least live your life thinking ' What could have happened, " or " If I had only gotten enough courage " or " If only I wasn't so afraid and held myself back " and any other assortment of the regret that can come with letting chances and oppurtinities pass you by.
Although just a while ago a friend and I were talking about how never trying, while makes you say I could have, should have, would have also let's you live on with the infinite fantasy that maybe everything would have worked out just how you planned, and there will always have been a chance, an inkling of hope instead of knowing right out that nothing could have ever come from it except maybe embarassment shame sadness and failure. ( Unless of course you try and succeed ) |
