“It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all in which case, you fail by default”
— J.K. Rowling

Simplified Meaning:
Trying to avoid failure completely means you might never take risks or try new things. This makes life feel very limited, as if you're not truly living. For example, if someone is afraid of being rejected, they might never ask someone out or try for a job they want. By playing it too safe, they miss out on the opportunity to succeed and enjoy new experiences. Everyone fails at something at some point, and that's okay—it's a normal part of life. It's better to try and possibly fail than to never try at all. Taking risks helps us grow, learn, and live a more fulfilling life.
