What's the point of thinking you're going to fail, unless you're rationally considering giving up?

If I'm rationally considering also investing in a parachute while I'm learning to fly. Or maybe a safety net while I'm doing the trapeze.

Haha I guess when you're already committed to doing some course you can't swerve from, you can't be afraid or even consider the possibility of failure or you're more likely to plummet to your doom (in the trapeze case. Maybe in the sky diving case you're already falling so you can try to aim towards some water and hope to just break your legs or something).
