Failure by default
Which is a worse reason to be deemed A LOSER:
* trying, but never winning.
-OR-
* never trying, and thus, never winning.
i'm the type of person who takes risks, even if i end up looking a big fool... Because then at least i know (know the outcome, not know that i'm a fool. i think that's pretty well documented). it's sometimes hard for me to understand someone who doesn't take a risk on something because they don't want to fail at it. i'd be inclined to say that is as much failure as risking + losing.
