What matters more is whether you had the courage to attempt it in the first place!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this is where wisdom is critical; I think it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a good idea to attempt things when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re interested, but at the same time, you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to be foolish about it. For example, to simply attempt some thing because you want some sort of external validation seems like a poor or a foolish decision.
