Boring Quote by Kumail Nanjiani

“Most people don't really do too many things because they're afraid they'll fail. There are people failing all the time, all around you. And nobody is going to notice your failure. Your failure is not going to be so spectacular that people write news stories about it. Your failure will be boring.” quote by Kumail Nanjiani
