About This Quote
The expression is designed to discourage people from taking foolish risks. Most people get discouraged when something goes awry, but it’s important not to let the negative emotions get the best of you. Just because something does not go perfectly doesn’t mean that you should sail off into the sunset or jump into shark-infested waters.
