From my own experiences, I can tell আপনি that depending on the situation, Never Trying is much, much worse.
It depends on whether আপনি are আরো sensitive to humiliation, in which case trying and failing would be worse. অথবা if আপনি are আরো sensitive to regret, in which case nnever trying at all would be worse.
For me, I'm not easily humiliated and my ego would be আরো dented if I didn't try at all, because I am one of those 'what if' people who like to just go for it. হাঃ হাঃ হাঃ ^^
Never trying. Because when আপনি fail, at least আপনি have the spine to actually try. Failing... meh, just try again. But if আপনি never try, আপনি never succeed.
