‘Messing up’ is par for the course.

Any time you take on an initiative or a project or a venture, there’s a strong chance that you’re going to mess up along the way.

The more visible the initiative (in whatever sphere of life you’re operating within), the more public that mess up will be - and the more prominent the impact on some stakeholder or constituent. In other words, someone’s going to get hurt, in some form or fashion.
