Don’t put limitations on yourself. Other people will do that for you. Don’t do it to yourself. Don’t bet against yourself. And take risks.

NASA has this phrase that they like, “Failure is not an option.” But failure has to be an option.

In art and exploration, because it is a leap of faith. And no important endeavor that required innovation was done without risk. You have to be willing to take those risks. […]

in whatever you are doing, failure is an option. But fear is not.

James Cameron
