"Les gens ont peur de prendre des risques non pas à cause des enjeux mais à cause du risque d'échouer."
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Simplified Meaning:
Many people hesitate to try new things, not because they are worried about losing money or time, but because they are scared of not succeeding. Imagine you want to start your own business, but you are too afraid to go for it. You're not just worried about spending your savings; you're mostly worried about failing and what others might think. This fear can stop you before you even start. But if you don't try, you'll never know what could happen or what you might achieve. To overcome this, remind yourself that everyone fails sometimes, and failure can teach valuable lessons. By focusing on what you can learn rather than being afraid of making mistakes, you can be more confident in taking risks and following your dreams.
