Update of a Saying

The saying goes:

The man who makes no mistakes generally makes nothing.

I'd like to add a postscript:

The man who makes no mistakes generally makes nothing. The man who makes many mistakes doesn't achieve a whole hell of a lot either.

"He Died Doing What He Loved."

"He died doing what he loved." That's rather an odd saying, isn't it? This line is usually reserved for someone who dies whilst undertaking a dangerous sport and/or occupation such as; racing car driver, mountaineer, hot air balloonist, etc.

Strangely enough you never hear the phrase used in for following professions:

Commercial airline pilot
School bus drivers
Taxi drivers
Teachers
