Poll: Which is worse: failing or never trying?

[JoJo]

This may sound a little coarse, but I was raised to believe I was strong. Refusal to even try something I wanted to do, to improve myself or because I know that pursuing it would make me happy, would be contradictory with that motto.

Ha, me too, it's a great attitude to have! I was recently thinking about how great my life was, then felt evener better when I realised that most of that was down to my own efforts =D
