Hi mylotters, Which is worse, failing or never trying? For me never trying is the worse.. Because all of us fail and we only got/have our success in life when we try again and again until we succeed. No one is perfect just try and never quit.God is always with us.

Yes, the worst is never trying. People meet failure and success, that is the only two that you will experience in life, failure and success. When you do not try, you are not in between, you are just nothing but a lazy poor old crap. You are coward, or you are just satisfied with your life. The reason of those who do not try are these, either that is not their course in life, they are afraid to take a risk, little knowledge or lack of knowledge, low self esteem, negative person. We are sometimes inside that reason, but how can you know the result if you will not try. If you fail maybe this is not the right time. Don't be scared to hurt, as the strength comes from it. After failing for many times, success is on the way, and you will received with worth.

If I know that I can do it why should I stop? The best thing always is tried every thing that we know we can. And try to give all the best we can do to make our life complete by means of we did our best and prove that we are able to make anything and we had value in life. In my life I tried everything that I know. I never shy and I don't care if I failed. Thanks and good morning!

You will also never succeed if you don't atleast try. I think that trying and failing is a success. Never trying is failing

I think it is better to try and fail than never to try at all. If I never try then it leads to a feeling of regret. The legal age that someone can begin learning to drive in my home country is seventeen years old. In those days I was in the second year of further education college. Then I went to work as a children's nanny in Finland then traveled around Europe by train at age eighteen. I came home and got a job at a ship brokers. At age nineteen I bought a little cottage. Sadly I was made redundant and it made life look quite challenging. I let my cottage out and got a working holiday visa for Australia. I came home from my trip around the world and then went to university. Next I began my teaching career. In 2002 I began taking driving lessons but I kept failing. I almost gave up learning. Then in 2009 I had a last chance to learn to drive. Amazingly on Monday this week I finally passed my practical driving test. So twenty years late is better than never in my case.

Some years ago I heard the words: "Try and fail, but don't fail to try" and I wrote the sentence down in my notebook, because it described the way that I felt about this topic. I have had many failures in my life, and of course I have been sad and frustrated when things didn't go the way that I planned, but I still think that trying and failing is better than never trying at all. If I know that I have tried, there is nothing to regret later on, and I don't have to wonder what would have been if I had tried. When I think about failure there is one particular thing in my life that comes to mind. Now I think that it was pretty naive of me to believe in that project, and I am not surpriced that it went wrong, but I can't say that I regret trying, because I have learned something from the experience, and I can use my experience to help other people.

Never trying. I don't mind failing in something, but i will never forgive myself, if i never tried in the first place. TATA.

I believe never trying is the worst of the two. I say that because you never know what is possible if you never tried. With that being said if you fail at least you now you have tried but if you never tried how could you be so sure that you would have failed or succeeded for that matter?

for me never trying is worse. without taking the risk to try it's boring. we will not know if we'll fail or succeed if we didn't try. we'll just end up "If only I..."

yes your right, never trying is most worst than be failed. you can never know if you win or not if you will not try and if you try and failed at least you did your best and theres nothing to loss as you can count them as your experience and those failures will guide you to be more better in the future. besides theres no losser in this world. you might loss once nor twice but it doesnt mean than you will loss forever. sometimes you will win at the end.

Yes you are right, all of us fail. Never trying is worst then failing. There are no perfect person here in our world. All we just need is to try it again until we achieve whatever we want to achieve. There is nothing wrong in trying it again. Just don't mind if someone is laughing at you or saying something about you just care about is what you want to achieve just believe in yourself and never quit.

Without a doubt, never trying is the worst FAILURE in life! A person who does not have the courage to try, even if they know they are going to fail, does not have the right to step on this gracious world... In life, you must try, fail, learn, try again and succeed!

Never trying is worst than failing because all person encounter failure in life. It is on our hands that we make ourselves success by trying.

I strongly believe that never trying is worst, until we try how'll we come to know the situations and complexity of any problems, if the situation can be handled alone with our knowledge na dexperience fine, if not we should always take the help of senior most people like father,mother and same age group people as they have tasted almost every aspects of life getting much more experienced every day of their passing life years. So in any situation the problem is definitely going to be solved unless we just give it a try, if couldnot excel through then lots of helping hands are there to make us through that one, trust me....

Never trying and for anyone that disagrees, you are more then welcome to your opinion, I don't agree with you, but I truly believe you have the right to not agree it with me as well. Failing is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently, we learn from our mistakes, more then our successes. A Quitter Never Wins, and A Winner Never Quits.
