The Importance of Risk in Doing Anything Worthwhile

"He who makes no mistakes never makes anything."
English Proverb
Or as Chesterton once said: ¨Anything worth doing well is worth doing poorly (first).¨

Far too often our society rewards hyper-safety and punishes healthy risk.  I'd much rather try to succeed in something worthwhile and make some mistakes than never try anything in order to avoid making mistakes.  Seems Biblical (Matthew 25).
