Yes, I guess most of us do try out new things in life. Sometimes it fails. And sometimes I keep failing but of course there are lots of successes too even though some successes are really minute. I guess it all comes to whether we have the passion to do the thing we want to try. If we do not have, once we fail, we directly give up and that is an automatically self declared failure.
Anything that we try now will slowly become sometime that we eventually learn if not and are going to benefit us in the future. It is a skill that combines has its place in a distant future.
