When is it better to be safe than sorry? متى يكون من الأفضل أن تكون آمناً بدل أن تكون آسفاً؟

Something that you say which means it is best not to take risks even if it seems boring or hard work to be careful.
I'll hold the ladder while you climb up.
Better safe than sorry.

My mentor taught me it is always better to be safe then sorry later.Trust your gut if you have reservations, rather avoid that action.That is excellent advise but sometimes hard to follow.I guess weigh the pro's and con's , ask the question what is the worst thing that can happen as a result of my actions and what are the possible benifts .
From there decide if you going to take the risk or play it safe.
