We should be willing to fail. We should be willing to fail because if you think about it everyone has failed once we are not perfect. We should be willing to fail because, “‘Then you wouldn't be able to develop grit, the strength of mind that allows you to persevere through difficulties”’ (Press 29). You need to persevere just like many people before you. The reason you should be willing to fail is, you only live once if it doesn't work out, try something else, try something new.
