Have you fail at anything lately? If you answer no, you may assume that to be a good thing. You would not be alone in assuming to not fail always mean good. As children we are taught that to fail is one of the worse things that can be experience through out our lives.
But my belief is that had we been taught that to live a successful fulfilling life there will be times that we should expect and except some failures. My reason behind this statement is that if you are not willing to take a chance because you are scare that you will fail, that is the biggest failure that anyone could experience.
Would you believe that there are individuals who are in the world right now that have some of the most amazing talents that will go to waste because they are scare of failure? This is because they are not willing to take a chance and that is failure in itself. Don’t let the ideal of failure keep you from moving forward, to fail in some things do not make you a failure, but to not be willing to take chances does.

You bought up some really good points... as you say, many people don't do anything because they are afraid of failing. All successful people throughout history have had their fair share of failure. Failing isn't the mistakes that you make but rather failing is not persevering, not getting up and having another go.
I used to be an incredible perfectionist -- it served me well in some areas of my life but it also paralysed my creativity and productivity. I'm a lot better now -- because nothing is ever perfect!
Best wishes
