It doesn't hurt to 

There’s no disadvantage in doing it.

Examples

1- It doesn’t hurt to send your resume.

2- It doesn’t hurt to ask.


How often do we avoid doing something because we’re afraid it won’t work?

Asking a question.

Sending a message.

Applying for a job.

Trying a new hobby.

And then someone says:

“Well, it doesn’t hurt to try.”

Today’s expression is:

 It doesn’t hurt to…

It means:

There’s no disadvantage in doing it.

For example:

“It doesn’t hurt to ask.”

Or:

“It doesn’t hurt to send your resume.”

This expression reminds us that some opportunities cost almost nothing to explore.

A small action can sometimes lead to a big opportunity.

And if nothing happens?

Well… it didn’t hurt to try.

In fact, many good things in life begin with actions that seemed small and harmless at the time.

A message.

A question.

An application.

A conversation.

You never know where they might lead.

 What’s something you’ve been hesitating to do that doesn’t hurt to try?

Sometimes the biggest regret isn’t trying and failing.

It’s never trying at all.

See you tomorrow.
