Most activities fall somewhere in between. In general, you'll be happier and more productive if you pick challenges at the "best moments" end of the spectrum. Seek to do your best, don't just seek not to fail.

Activities fall on a spectrum. At one end, those where you're judged by your best moments (like research: if you have 10 mediocre papers and 1 brilliant one, it's the latter that counts). At the other end, those where you're judged by your worst moments (like operating machinery)

What about professions like the police or emergency medicine in which you can be a hero (= judged on your best moment) OR a villain (= judged on a mistake). Chance will play a big role in how it turns out.
