You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don’t try.

About This Quote

This one has so many meanings. It could also mean that you are doomed if you don't try. The idea is that if you are not trying to succeed, then there is no point in ever even trying. If you are not trying, then it doesn't matter what happens.

However, if you do try, then at least there is something positive to take away from the experience. So, if you do give it your all, you can at least have a sliver of hope that it will have some positive effect on your life.
