Failure and skiing
Do not. fear failure.
The funny thing is, if you fail, unless it was a colossal failure, no one will even notice.
It’s like skiing.
If you get to the bottom standing up, great, you win.
If you get to the bottom on your butt, fine, go again.
The goal is to get to the bottom without failing so spectacularly that you’re carted off in an ambulance.
Every other eventuality is totally fine.
