3.Facing fear is one of the most important things you can do.Some people have a fear of failure and others a fear of success.It may seem strange but neither one is a good fear.You might think the fear of failure could be a good thing but it's not,particularly if the fear of failure keeps you from accomplishing anything.For myself,I have a huge fear of failure but I am good at facing that fear and overcoming it.I don't let my fear of failure cause me to delay(延误) my decision or get me off the track.I use the fear to make sure I'm doing my absolute best at all times because I know if I don't do my best I will fail.That frightens me.I'm not afraid of trying at all.
I started a business when I was married to my first wife.The business became successful and I was getting ready to make some huge money.However,my wife just wanted us to stay small because she was comfortable there.She feared what success might bring and did every little thing she could to make sure we didn't grow any bigger.I'm sure you can see the problem.I had a fear of failure and she had an even bigger fear of success.Finally I couldn't stand any more of her fear and we got a divorce.
Facing fear and overcoming fear is very important.People even have a fear of fear.I'm sure that it is normal.People fear change more than anything else and fight that change with fear.They fear what they don't know or understand.They fear anything new to them.But we need to keep in mind that the world is changing all the time and that change is inevitable (不可避免的).You can live a life free of fear by learning to face your fears.
