Making real decisions and being confident are great characteristics that every man should have. But while these are both great characteristics – a man should know that in life there are going to moments where things will go wrong.
A man is willing to make mistakes. He’s willing to be wrong and have accepted the fact that sometimes his going to lose. He’d rather try and fail than do nothing. One of the greatest assets of a man is his self-trust. When he begins second-guessing himself by worrying about the chances of him failing, he weakens himself. A smart man considers the prospect of failure, but he doesn’t consume himself with pointless worry. He accepts that if a failure outcome occurs, he can deal with it when it comes.
Success has its challenges, but a man learns more about himself when he takes on challenges that involve risk. He grows more from failure than he does from success. Success cannot test his resolve in the way that failure can. When a man plays it safe, his strength is lost, and he loses his edge on life.
