They are afraid of going out of their way and completely falling on their face and embarrassing themselves. These days, all the greats have failed time and time again to get to where they are. They probably failed more often than they succeeded. They learned from their mistakes to become better. They saw what they did wrong the first time and the second time they know what to do so it doesn't happen again. This is absolutely true because I have experienced this personally and I see it with all the great athletes today. They have this desire to be great and they are willing to do whatever they can to achieve their goal. When I first moved to a big city, I failed a lot, but I learned from it. It made me a better person and a better athlete. I also loved every moment because people come to me and ask for help and I get to share the experiences I've had with them, so they can be the person they're meant to be. The message is: don't be afraid to fall on your face, because if you take it with a grain of salt, you will never live or know what could have happened. When people are on their deathbed, they don't regret the things they did, but the things they didn't do. They have lived their whole lives in safety, even though they have never really lived. “Everyone dies but few people survive. » This quote explains this message
