"تنها راه برای فهمیدن اینکه آیا چیزی ممکن است، این است که آن را امتحان کنید، کاملاً در آن پیش بروید و آماده باشید که به اندازه موفقیت‌هایتان از شکست‌هایتان نیز یاد بگیرید"

Trying something new is often daunting. Yet, the essence here is to just go for it—give it your all and be open to whatever comes, be it success or failure. That's how you truly discover if something is achievable. And sometimes, you learn more from what doesn’t work out than from what does.

Imagine Thomas Edison working on the lightbulb. He didn't invent it on his first try. In fact, he failed over a thousand times. But each failure wasn't just a setback; it was a lesson. He learned what didn’t work, which brought him closer to what did. Edison’s journey wasn’t about avoiding failure; it was about embracing it and using each stumble as a stepping stone.

Take a moment to consider how Edison’s mindset can apply to your everyday life. Let’s say you’ve always wanted to start a small business. You’ve read all the books, watched all the TED talks, yet you’re still hesitating. What if it fails? What if you lose money? But, what if it succeeds? The only way to know is to take the plunge. Even if you don’t hit it big right away, each attempt will teach you something invaluable. Maybe you’ll understand your market better, refine your product, or even learn that entrepreneurship isn’t for you—but you’ll never know if you don’t try.

So, how do you apply this? Start small but think big. Don’t quit your day job just yet. Perhaps begin with a weekend project or a side hustle. Put your heart into it, and see what happens. Track what works and what doesn’t. Adjust your approach, and keep going. The point is to start, to make that first move.

Think of Sarah, a friend of mine who always wanted to be a graphic designer. She doubted her skills and was afraid to leave her stable job. One day, she just started—designing logos for friends, taking on small freelance gigs, learning as she went. Some projects flopped. Clients left unhappy, and she felt like giving up more than once. But she didn’t. Each failure provided feedback. Each success gave her confidence. Today, she runs her own successful design studio, but it all began with that first leap and a willingness to learn from every outcome, good or bad.

Imagine yourself at a coffee shop, chatting with a friend. What advice would you give them if they were too scared to try something new? You’d probably tell them to go for it, right? To not be afraid of failing because that’s part of the journey. It’s the same advice you should give yourself. Your future self will thank you for the courage you show today.

So, dive in. Take that risk. Embrace the possibility of failure as much as the chance of success. Each experience, whether it’s a win or a lesson, will shape you into someone more knowledgeable, more resilient, and ultimately, more confident in what you can achieve.
