Which is worse, failing or never trying?

The picture to the right has made me think about which one is worst: failing or not trying? I agree with the picture because many times we are scared of failing and that's why we never try to do something but don't you think you can be proud, if you tried even though you failed? I've heard people say "No, I didn't fail because I didn't even try," To me that's a dumb thing to say because failing is nothing bad, its a part of life. You are not always going to be successful. If your always successful whats so fun about your life? people need to experience both Failure and Success to really understand its meanings. Now its up to you to TRY and FAIL or to NOT TRY and STILL FAIL
