Translate an English sentence

When it comes to safety, there is a saying: If you do nothing, you won’t make any mistakes. In other words, IF YOU DO NOTHING, THEN YOU WILL MAKE NO MISTAKE. I’m looking for an idiom or a four-character phrase that can express this idea Hehe, it always seems that a literal translation doesn’t sound very good or smooth.
Any move invites criticism—uncertain if this is accurate?
“In terms of safety, there is a saying: by doing nothing, you won’t make any mistakes. ”I would like to ask what the original poster means by this sentence?
The more you do, the more mistakes you make; doing less means no mistakes!:lol
I still don’t understand. What does the word “do” here above refer to?
Do some work.^_^
A literal translation is quite difficult; how about a free translation? Mistakes are inevitable at work; always keep safety in mind. (Don’t be careless and assume you won’t make any mistakes :) )
"\"If one does nothing, there is no fault.\" Fault can also be seen as a form of correction; the meaning is clear: when one takes action, it will inevitably have more or less an impact on the things around it, while if one does nothing, then there are no issues or mistakes. I just thought of the phrase in foreign languages: “have nothing to do with something/someone...” The problem lies in the word “with” – whenever you take action, someone will surely comment on whether it’s right or wrong, good or bad, and those comments can lead to changes in other things. The world is full of interconnected relationships... It’s just my personal opinion. The biggest difference between doing something and not doing it is that the latter gives others the right to comment on the former; it’s up to you to decide whether you want to do it or not, and whether you’re afraid of those comments.
