However, those that take the plunge would be fool-hardy to jump out of the plane without the proper training or equipment. Though not life threatening, other risks can be just as scary. The answers lie in what you want to gain in life. Of course you might. We learn by our failures.
Failure is a part of life.
Your true character will shine in the way you live through failure and come back to tackle the task once again. Some of the greatest achievers have also been the greatest failures. The difference that made these people great is that after failing, they didn't give up. They picked themselves up and said, 'Why Not' try again. Your Power of Why Not is in you.
