  1. Good quotes... though the word "mistake" feels so small compared to what one feels when about to "make one." Usually right at that moment, fear of failure, regret and "no way back" make it hard to just "walk into a mistake." Kwim?

  3. Thanks for the quotes..so many wasted opportune moments and years have gone by and I've missed countless opportunities in my life due to fear of stepping out into the unknown (fear of failure). But oh well...that's life...and I'm still learning...
