“Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.”
— Elon Musk
Simplified Meaning:
When you try new things, not everything will work out perfectly. Sometimes, you'll make mistakes or your ideas won't succeed. That's okay because it's a part of creating new and better ways of doing things. For example, when Thomas Edison was inventing the light bulb, he failed hundreds of times before finding the right solution. Each failure brought him one step closer to success. If you're always playing it safe and everything you do works perfectly, it means you're not pushing yourself to find new and better ways to do things. Embrace failures as valuable lessons and keep trying new things.
