2 frogs, 1 maze and 1 jar of milk
If you are like me and often do not dare to do things, if you are afraid of making mistakes
and therefore do not even try, here are two images which have helped me to seeseeing things in a different way:
The maze-game:

Well, why not seeing look at the mistakes that you made, all the so-called failures as and wrong ways that you had to try in order to finally find the correct pathgood one?
Certainly, some are lucky enough, or have a sort of magical feeling and find in one shot attempt the endissue, but for all the others, the best and simplest way to find the right way is to try several ways and by trial and errorknowing them, to finally find the good one.
By seeingLooking at things like this, all your efforts were notno more failures, they were real efforts, real work and they were useful; they helped you to find theyour right way.
The story of two frogs in a jar:
Two frogs had fallen in a jar of milk. They wanted to escape, but all their efforts were in vain, they tried and tried but every time fell in the milk. One of them finally gave uplost hope and drowned.
The other carried on all night, jumping, jumping, swimming and swimming and jumping!
On By the next day, the frog was sitting on the top of a jar of… butter…and had finally escaped from it!
Bon travail! My corrections were very minimal!
