Bet on yourself
Significado: To invest in your own abilities and potential rather than playing it safe.
'Bet on yourself' is a motivational mantra meaning to trust your skills enough to take risks. Quitting a stable job to start a business, investing in your education, or backing your own talent — it's about self-belief. Common in entrepreneur and athlete culture.

- Sometimes you just have to bet on yourself and go for it. 有时候你就得相信自己,放手一搏。A veces solo tienes que apostar por ti mismo y lanzarte.時には自分を信じて挑戦するしかないんだよ。가끔은 자기 자신을 믿고 도전할 수밖에 없어.
