Failing Minute
Script:
Although you may not remember, you've failed many times in your life.
Guess what happened the first time you tried to stand?
Do you think you caught the first ball thrown to you?
How about your first time on a bicycle?
This "failing" is called "learning". We aren't experts the first time we try something. We have to fail a bit and get better as we develop skills.
Did you know Babe Ruth struck out something like 1,330 times? But, he hit over 700 home runs. If he had stopped playing baseball because he struck out so much, where would he have been?
Don't worry about failing when you try new things. Worry more about the opportunities you miss if you are afraid of failing.
