Everything I am not doing now because I think I may fail.

If the world were a place where we could not fail, life wouldn't have a purpose. We would have no goals, and no meaning in our lives. Religion would be nonexistent, as why would anyone rely on God, when they need only rely on themselves?
There would be no such thing as a risk. Gambling wouldn't be heard of, because how would anybody benefit from a sure thing, besides the gambler, and if every gambler is a sure thing, well... it just all goes downhill from there.
How could anyone truly know if their partner loves them back, if it was garanteed that they would "get" them in the first place? No one would put effort into anything they did, what would be the point? They have it already in the bag, why waste the energy? Truth is, failure is what makes us human. We make mistakes. And we learn from these mistakes. We wouldn't have any sense in our brains if we skated through life. Failure makes us stronger, makes us wiser and makes goal-achieving so much sweeter.
If I could not fail, I'd be mush.

If I knew that I could become a successful world leader and be able to promote goodwill and harmony amongst the world's nations, I'd step up to the plate in a split second. Imagine a world where no children went to bed hungry or were beaten. Imagine a world of prosperity and sharing. Imagine a world where everyone could find themselves a job that could support their family, and enjoy working and doing so. Yep, that's where I'd start. :-)

Well if by not fail you mean not go to jail I would kill the one person who does not deserve to be alive. That person shall be nameless. But It I didnt go to jail I would kill him/her in a HEARTBEAT. I know violence is not the way but if you knows what he/she did and still got away with you would feel the same way I do.
Otherwise I would become wealthy enough to pay my parents back for all the money they have used to help me in life and I would make sure I put some money towards getting the house remodeled since they have not had the chance to do so yet.

I would help everyone I came across and would go out of my way to come across as many people as possible. If I knew I could not fail, I would cure every disease, disorder, and ailment. I would heal every heart and I would not stop.

To not fail would mean you could truly never succeed. That would be quite dull and make life meaningless.
Therefore, without failure, I'd probably go insane and die a sad mass of unaccomplished human.

If you "knew" you could not fail then you would not fail!

Stop trying because ppl can only do so much, if you cant do it or don't know the answer then you don't know and you cant change it or the outcome then, failure is always an option in real life, its just the road less traveled and the most bumpy in most cases.
