From my own experiences, I can tell wewe that depending on the situation, Never Trying is much, much worse.
It depends on whether wewe are zaidi sensitive to humiliation, in which case trying and failing would be worse. au if wewe are zaidi sensitive to regret, in which case nnever trying at all would be worse.
For me, I'm not easily humiliated and my ego would be zaidi dented if I didn't try at all, because I am one of those 'what if' people who like to just go for it. lol ^^
Never trying. Because when wewe fail, at least wewe have the spine to actually try. Failing... meh, just try again. But if wewe never try, wewe never succeed.
