No worse off

The last thing this module has to say is about the cost of attempts.

A thousand failures

Imagine attempting something a thousand times and failing every one of them.

At the end of it you are where you started. That is the honest outcome: not ruined, not behind, just back at the beginning with a thousand attempts behind you.

Failing repeatedly leaves you roughly where you were. It does not put you below it.

Ten out of a thousand

Now imagine ten of those thousand work.
