Possibility of failure

If you spend all your energy avoiding the possibility of failure, failure is precisely what you'll get. To avail yourself of life's rewards, you must be willing to live with some of life's risks.

It is indeed foolish to take unnecessary risks. It is even more foolish to avoid risk completely.

When you take action, there's always a chance that something will go wrong. Yet if you never go ahead with the action, you'll never get anything accomplished. When you make a decision, there's always a chance that you could be wrong. Yet if you never made a decision, you'd never get anything right.

There is risk in life, and life is certainly worth the risk. Know the risks, prepare for them, manage them, and get accustomed to living with them.

Be willing to live with the possibility of failure. And you're on your way to achieving amazing success.

-- Ralph Marston
