"Le coût de l'inaction est bien plus élevé que le coût d'une erreur"
— Alex Hormozi
Simplified Meaning:
When you avoid doing something because you're afraid of making a mistake, you usually end up worse off. This quote means that it's better to try and possibly fail than to do nothing at all. Imagine a student who doesn't study for an exam because they're scared they won't understand the material. By not trying, they are definitely going to fail the test, which is worse than studying a bit and maybe getting some questions wrong. In history, think about inventors like Thomas Edison who tried many times to create the light bulb. If he hadn't attempted, feeling fearful of making errors, we might not have light bulbs today. His 'mistakes' were valuable learning experiences leading to success. In life, you can apply this by taking small risks, like trying a new hobby or talking to new people. Even if it doesn't work out perfectly, you'll learn and grow. Doing nothing out of fear just keeps you stuck in the same place without any progress.
