"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."

Les Brown, you are wrong.

The Sun is the closest star to the Earth. And it's almost 150 million kilometers from here. The average distance to the moon is only 382500 kilometers. This means that if you shoot for the moon and miss, you are still more than 149 million kilometers from a single star.

The point is, maybe we should be just a little bit cautious when we start dreaming big and acting all impulsively. Maybe we are right to be scared. If you give up everything you have to make it to the moon, and you miss, you actually just end up nowhere, with nothing.
