“If you’re afraid to fail, then you’re probably going to fail.”
— Kobe Bryant
Simplified Meaning:
When you're very scared of making mistakes, it's more likely that you will make them. Think about when you first learned to ride a bicycle. If you were too worried about falling, you might have been extra shaky and actually fallen off. It's because fear makes you nervous, and being nervous can lead to the very thing you're scared of. To do something well, you need to focus and believe in yourself. Take the example of famous inventors like Thomas Edison. He failed many times while trying to make the light bulb but didn't let his fear stop him. He kept going and eventually succeeded. The lesson here is to not let the fear of failure hold you back. If you try something new and focus on doing your best, you have a much better chance of succeeding. So, instead of worrying about failing, concentrate on learning and improving. This way, you enhance your chances of doing well.
