X = Number of Successes, Y = Number of Failures
I'd add an elif (or else if, depending on if your language can handle that shorthand) checking the total number of X+Y, as well as if X>Y, with a statement that says "Don't be afraid to fail."
But that's just me.

What would X+Y represent?? And "Don't be afraid to fail" would be a nice add-on for sure!

Total number of tries. If you've only succeeded or failed a handful of times, you might not be trying enough ways.
