Live Life Without Fear of Failure

Wed Apr 22, 2009, 10:43 AM
Why is it that so many people don't (or won't) do something because they are afraid that they might fail? Is it pride? Embarrassment? I don't know... But I do know that failure is human. Everyone fails at something at some point in their life. I know that sounds pessimistic, but it's true! And if you learn from your failures it will only make you stronger. So why not go try something new? Don't let the possibility of failure keep you from doing something you otherwise want to do.

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

Thanks for the fav! and btw your prints will be ready Friday, so should I just give them to Steph or Nate on Monday or do you want to pick them up?

Ah very nice. That's awesome! And I heard there's a place in Palo Alto where you can develop your own film/prints. I'm super happy because for like $50 a semester or year(idk which) UC Santa Cruz will let anyone use their darkroom after class
