Quote by Woody Allen

If you don't fail now and again, it's a sign you're playing it safe.

If you don't fail now and again, it's a sign you're playing

Summary

This quote is a reminder that failure is not always a negative outcome, but rather a necessary part of growth and personal development. If one never experiences failure, it suggests that they are not taking risks or challenging themselves. Playing it safe may provide temporary comfort, but it can also lead to a stagnant and unfulfilling life. By embracing failure and stepping out of our comfort zones, we open ourselves up to new opportunities and experiences that can ultimately lead to success and personal growth.

For the ordinary man is passive. Within a narrow circle (home life, and perhaps the trade unions or local politics) he feels himself master of his fate, but against major events he is as helpless as against the elements. So far from endeavouring to influence the future, he simply lies down and lets things happen to him.
