on your journey to a goal: 1) try your best not to make mistakes and don't worry about the possibility of them occuring. a) if you should make some, learn from them. do not repeat a mistake. try to repair or replace that which may be affected, then try to improve upon it. 2) try not to fail and do not worry about the possibility of failing. a) try again after failure. isolate the cause, and correct it, then try to improve it. b) if you should fail, it is important to remember that failure can be the seed which eventually gives birth to success. therefore; use failure to your advantage.
