Some guy refuses to fight and we call that the sin, but he's standing up for what he believes in and that seems pretty damned American to me.
You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don't win, at least you can be satisfied that you've tried. If you don't accept failure as a possibility, you don't set high goals, you don't branch out, you don't try - you don't take the risk.
