Volume 7 Chapter 3 Constantly updated: Don't let excellence become an obstacle to excellence [-]
The greatest fear is fear itself
Things get easier as long as we keep at it.This is not because the nature of the task has changed, but because our ability to do it has increased.

-- "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People"

Fear is a strong emotional response to flight from a threat.It is not inherent in human beings, but it causes deep anxiety and pain in people.Therefore, many people are content with the status quo and do not seek change. It is not that they lack interest in the future, but that their uneasiness about fate far outweighs their curiosity about the future.

What are people usually afraid of?Normal or abnormal death, distorted life forms, grotesque illusory world... In fact, most of these fears come from the weakness of human nature. The cowardice, selfishness, and smoothness that are born or gradually accumulated make people always feel Be alert, no matter to others or to the future, you lack a sense of security, so that you look forward and backward at every step, walking on thin ice.

The famous American salesman Frank once said: "If you are a coward, then you are your own worst enemy; if you are a warrior, then you are your own best friend." Most of the time people's fear does not come from the outside, But in their own hearts, what people fear is often their own repeated imagination of those terrible things.

In a small town in Boston, there is a young man named Jack who has been longing for the sea.By chance, he came to the seaside, where it was shrouded in fog and the weather was cold.He thought: Is this the sea I have longed for?There was a big gap between his hope and disappointment, and he thought: I don't like the sea anymore.It's a good thing I didn't become a sailor. If I were a sailor, it would be too dangerous.

On the shore, he meets a sailor, and they talk.

"The sea is not always so cold and foggy. Sometimes, the sea is bright and beautiful. But at any time, I love the sea." Said the sailor.

"Isn't it dangerous to be a sailor?" Jack asked.

"When a man loves his work, he thinks of no danger. Everyone in our family loves the sea," Sailor said.

"Where is your father now?" Jack asked.

"He died in the sea."

"Where's your grandfather?"

"Dead in the Atlantic."

"Where's your brother?"

"He was swallowed by a crocodile while swimming in a river in India."

"In that case," said Jack, "if I were you, I'd never go to sea."

"Will you tell me where your father died?" asked the sailor.

"Dead in bed."

"Where's your grandfather?"

"And died in bed too."

"So if I were you," said the sailor, "I should never go to bed."

For those who are filled with inexplicable fears about the future, all is impossible.If you are already afraid of the waves on the sea, you are destined not to experience the charm of the sea.

Scholar Muldoon once believed that fear is one of the crux of the intractable emotions in human life.In the face of nature and human society, the process of life has never been smooth and safe, and there will always be various and unexpected setbacks, failures and pains.When a person expects that some adverse consequences will occur or is threatened, he will produce this unpleasant emotion, and he will be nervous, worried, annoyed, worried, and fearful, ranging from mild anxiety to panic.

The emotion of fear is normal, but people who live in fear all the time cannot gain true freedom.There are no permanent winners and no permanent losers in the world.Some people are too timid, and what they have already lost will be lost again; some people are very brave, and what they lost will be regained.Fear is a deep ditch in the road of life, and only by crossing it can we move on.
