Well, after looking at my portfolio in the last weeks, I am glad that I did have the nerves to try to purchase the dips!
Just like that I am glad now, that I keep on blogging, while others didn't take the time to invest in the steem blockchain because it didn't have enough value. Without doing that I would not have the same circle of friends as I have now.

But we were talking about failure. The good thing about for instance Silicon Valley, is that there you will not be punished for trying something and failed. They will think that you will have learned from your failures and that within your next project you won't be making the same mistakes.
Here in Europe, the sentiment is different. Here once you have failed, it will be difficult to get back the reputation of the respect you had before!
And what is worse. Tried and failed, but knowing for the rest of your life that it just didn't work out or never have tried at all, regretting all your life that you didn't have the nerves to try!
