..ya.cause it can help you to be a better person if you always put in your mind that it's better to be sorry cause when you do it you were always be safe.'its a combination of two but sorry is the first thing to do.

I don't try to reach my goals I just aim at them. I don't like your idea. You said "we all" I think your thinking is trying to dictate our lives like a dictator. Anyway, I live safe than sorry. I make my steps to success by predicting what is next if I get it wrong it doesn't mean I have failed but it means that I have learned what not to do the next time I try. Maybe you are stupid and become sorry all the time. Too bad.

If you think Paolo Coello is stupid then I might as well be stupid for your standards 
. He was the one who said that line. Anyway, if you don't want to live your life to the fullest and try achieving goals (which is exactly what the line means) then I am sorry for you. Maybe you are not stupid but you are coward. Atleast you are safe right?

En mi vida, mejor lamentar que prevenir.

Why are you being sorry for me?
Anyway,I am so sorry for your failures. Being safe doesn't mean one is coward right away. I am saying this to stand up for myself. Just because I'm safe, you called me a coward? Let me tell you this. I take risks too only smarter. I aim at my goals but not reach it. I have priorities and have to be safe for my purpose in life. Maybe you are so selfish that you only care for your goal and you think that is life?
So you really think that you have to risk your life to live to the fullest, idiot?
Can you live up to your words? Can you die right now because I'm telling you that you will reach your goals faster this way even though it is not safe?

That's how i see life and guess what? i'm beginning to regret it. I often hear lines saying life is what we make it and little by little i'm beginning to see its meaning. We only have one shot at life therefore it's up to us to make it into one great adventure. Ever since i was a child i've learn to calculate the pros and cons and always choose the easier side of things but in the long run life is becoming boring.

That is EXACTLY what I mean. I have been like that too. Too bad they did not teach that in school. I had to learn it the hard way and already lost many chances. But now we still have time to change it

You must be a young guy, I think you still don't have a girl friend, and have a good financial condition, if not I suggest you to live the way safe better than sorry. I really want to know what kind of sorry would you like.

No, I am not a young guy and I do have a family. I lived my life safely for a very long time, and that doesn't give me contentedness. By saying better be sorry than safe, just simply means, I would rather have tried and not succeed than not trying at all.

Hello, dear. :)
That depends. If it is not life threatening then, I'd be sorry than safe.Like risking myself of getting hurt by loving the most irresponsible man in the whole wide world than feeling sorry later I did not try really hard to make him see and feel that I love him. My love could have change him, you know? LOL
But, if this will cause me my only dear life, then, I choose safe than be sorry.Like if my boss will fire me because I did not drink the l i q u o r a client offered me to drink. The drink can trigger a sudden heart attack but refusing it means not getting the deal from the client.Never mind feeling sorry for losing the deal and the job, I can replace them sooner or later but I can never take back my life once it passes me away.:)

Risking LIFE itself is a very different thing! You won't even get a chance to feel sorry then when you die. But on love, yes, it is worth to try even if it ends up to be a failure. Most of our regrets are things we did not do, not things we failed to do.

Yes, that's kinda what I meant. Better to atleast try and failed than not trying at all. If you failed you can still try it again.

Not if it involves money like poker. Now in that case you need to play it safe most of the time and take a chance mostly only if you have a good hand. If you will always take the risk on bluffing, you will lose big time

It depends on the situation. When it comes to dangerous things in life...the "better safe than sorry" applies. But if you associate the reverse version to something like "doing your best, you still end up losing, but at least you've tried" then it's worth it.

in my life ........ i feel that i can be soorry for taking risks now because i feel now like my wings are spreaded and the whole sky is to be covered....i feel like friends and PARENTS are everything i need and nothing else iand i can take any risks for them.........:-)
there is a wise saying """it is better to be safe than sorry""" but follow this one
""""NO PAIN NO GAIN!!!!"""".i personally believe that the thing that does not kills you will make you even stronger

With money matters and keeping your house locked when you go out I would vote for rather safe than sorry but where life enriching experiences are concerned I would tend to lean to the rather sorry than safe. The best way to become a better person is to make mistakes and learn the lessons. I also think that you must take into consideration how other people will be affected by your choices. For instance: No contraception leading to a child is not something you can later feel sorry about. That has life changing repercussions for a lot of people. For giving a possible new relationshop a try I would rather be sorry than safe. You are two condescending adults who know that there is a chance it might not work, but it may also be the best decision of your life
