What and If?

Two interesting words that most of us use very often.
Questions like "What are you doing?", "What's that?" or "If you do it your wrong", are a common fact in our lives.

However, if put together they can really piss you off.
"What if?" is the worst question you could ever put.
"What if I did that?", "What if I talked to her?", "What if I had taken some risk in that business?".

These are some example of stuff you'll ask yourself again and again.
But the thing is: why didn't we tried it at that time?

Taking some risk is something most people can't do, most of us don't have the balls to take some risk.

But a simple question should solve it: is it worse to try and fail, or to not try and spend the rest of your life wondering how it could have been if you took that risk?


I leave you a quote that really makes the point:

"Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little course, and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice. Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble." - by Ralph Waldo Emerson
