is this a good saying? "never try, never fail"

Accurate, yes. A little more defeatist than optimistic. Not sure how "good" it is, though. Ultimately, it's the epiphany of "better safe than sorry." While discretion may be the better part of valor, always being "safe" and only doing the "tried and true" provides little personal satisfaction and yields minimal reward. Unless balanced with "great risk equals great reward," this philosophy leads to a stagnant and unfulfilling existence. After all, "never try, never fail," may be true, but so is, "never try, never succeed."

I'm Not very optimistic at the moment. But this is what I say. Try as much as possible not to try to listen to other people and yourself when a glitch in the system is not a complete failure just a temporary set back or something to learn from.

No, if you don't try than you can't only not fail, but you also can't succeed.

Only if you never want to succeed.

No its not good because you cannot accomplish anything unless you try.It means you are a coward because you fear failure .It also means you are incapable and handicapped.

Not as good as "Nothing ventured; Nothing gained."
