So fear helps me from making mistakes, but I make lot of mistakes.

The line frames fear not as something to eliminate, but as a practical safety mechanism—an internal alarm that can reduce reckless errors. At the same time, the speaker undercuts any claim to mastery by admitting to frequent mistakes, emphasizing humility and the reality that learning (especially in high-risk work) is iterative. Read this way, the quote suggests a mature relationship to risk: courage is compatible with fear, and competence is built through imperfect experience rather than flawless control. The tension between “fear helps” and “I make a lot of mistakes” highlights that caution can guide behavior, but it cannot guarantee perfect outcomes.
