“Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.”
— Babe Ruth

Simplified Meaning:
Fear of failure can stop you from trying new things or reaching for your goals. Imagine you want to play baseball but you're scared of missing the ball when you swing. If you let that fear control you, you might never even pick up the bat and play. But, if you decide to play despite the fear, you give yourself a chance to hit the ball and maybe even win the game. Similarly, in life, trying something new might feel scary because of the possibility of failing. However, pushing past that fear can lead to success and new experiences. So, don't let the fear of making mistakes stop you from doing what you want to do.
