“If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative.”
— Woody Allen

Simplified Meaning:
Taking risks and trying new things usually means making mistakes or failing sometimes. Imagine a child learning to ride a bike. If they never fall or stumble, they're likely not pushing themselves to really master it or try new tricks. True innovation and creativity require stepping out of your comfort zone, and that often means experiencing some failures along the way. If you play it too safe and stick to what you already know, you're missing opportunities to grow and discover new possibilities. Embracing occasional failures can lead to breakthroughs and successes you would never reach by playing it safe. So, don't be afraid of failing; it's a sign you're trying to do something new and different.
