Has the fear of making a mistake ever kept you from trying to
do something? This happens even to the best of us. Unfortunately, making
mistakes is inevitable for all human beings. Sometimes, we get so caught up in
worrying about our reputation or what other people think of us that we hold
ourselves back. This is never a good thing or beneficial to us. Often times
when we look back on certain events in our lives or other things, we have
regrets. This could definitely be avoided, not all of the time, but at least
some of the time. All we have to do is try not to be afraid of failure. The
attempt is what really matters. Whether you succeed or fail is not always what
is most important. Its best to always give it all you got. That way in the end at
least you can say that you tried. When we fail, we learn something from our
experience, regardless of whether it was a good or bad one. Those who fall down
and continue to get back up will most likely succeed and be rewarded for their
effort and dedication eventually. Those who fall down and choose to stay down
could not possibly ever succeed. Therefore I encourage you, no I dare you, just to try next
time you are presented with an opportunity, even if you are unsure of what the
outcome of your attempt will be. Many people are not aware of what they are
truly capable of because they never even make an attempt. This does not mean
that we should act without first thinking about our actions though. Taking time
to contemplate things is important as well, but it is never a good thing when
it works as a restraint. The quote above is one of many great quotes given to
us by American President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and we should all try to live
by it.
