if every thing can be safe, it is very beautiful. but many things were unavailable,which means you can not predict. it is very difficult that we do very thing are safe.

Hi all!

As I get the point it´s not the question how you feel rather than how you behave. Means, you mightn´t act in a way you later feel needed to appologize for.

Hm...! I think, one not always can think as silly as it may happen and, additional, what currently might be right possibly a few moments later can be wrong. So, there often one (at least I, have) acted on certain isues they( I) later considered it having done the wrong way. But what is the matter with it? You never can return to that special point of time, can you?

In this sense, I try to behave friendly (as often as I can.. a saying sounds we reap what we saw) and not to hurt anyone and feel fine with.

Regards

To tell you the truth, I prefer the sentence "It is almost always better to be safe than sorry. why I think that? Because sometimes we have to take risk in our lives in order to advance and progress.

I think we always do something in a safe way. Because when we do our things, it do hide many risk in it. For instance, when you want make a report on the stage, you should be preview your content and prepare what you’ll say to your listener, or you may cause you in a embarrassed situation and make everyone in bad mood and you may be a loser on it. So I agree with the title.

What is better safe than sorry mean? This idiom is used to recommend being cautious rather than taking a risk.

I think we always do something in a safe way. Because we do our things, it does hide many risks in it. For instance, when you want to make a report on the stage, you should preview your content and prepare what you’ll say to your listener, or you may cause you in an embarrassed situation and make everyone in bad mood and you may be a loser on it.
In brief, we need to ensure what we proceed to have no danger or risk, so this is the result what we want to get finally. So I agree with this sentence that Better safe than sorry.
