If you are willing to risk failure, you are also willing to aim for greatness. Unfortunately, there’s no way of separating the two. In the words of Jeanette Winterson, “You play, you win, you play, you lose. You play. It’s the playing that’s irresistible. What you risk reveals what you value.” Don’t let fear stop you from staying in the game, Taurus.
