You have to be willing to fail first before you do anything.

Before I bought bitcoin I risked losing everything I invested, failing publicly and having everyone mock me as the internet money nerd. I accepted that outcome.

I said if it comes then I am ready for it.

You have to risk scorn and humiliation to do anything meaningful.

That’s why so few do anything meaningful.

They have the potential, but they’re scared.

I think you would enjoy the book 'How to get Rich' by Felix Dennis. Cheesy title, but great read. He makes the exact point you made - most ppl are afraid of embarrassment from failure.

Interesting. So do people fear more the potential of being made fun of by friends/family than the risk of losing money? Or is it equal? I guess if you have to consider both of them then it does become more difficult.

yes, exactly. not sure if its equal - prob varies by person.
