Quote by David Grayson

We fail far more often by timidity than by over-daring.


We fail far more often by timidity than by over-daring.

Summary

This quote suggests that we often miss out on opportunities and success not because we take too many risks or are overly daring, but rather because we are too timid and afraid to take a leap of faith. It implies that embracing fear and challenging ourselves can lead to more growth and achievement than playing it safe and avoiding taking any risks at all. By erring on the side of caution, we may often discover that we have missed valuable chances for personal and professional development.
