“.. almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”
Steve Jobs
“Manage the fear of failure. It will visit many times as you work the plan. Face the fear in your mind. See it as a visitor coming to your door. Ask the fear four questions: Who are you? Why are you here? Who sent you? What do you have to tell me? Listen deep within and seriously consider what the fear is telling you. Then reevaluate your plan and, if necessary, adjust it in light of your new knowledge. Never stop simply because you are afraid that you may fail.”
Terence T. Gorski
“Many fail because they do nothing out of the fear of making a mistake.”
“Don’t be afraid to make mistakes – they teach important lessons.”
“In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.”
Bill Cosby
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Mark Twain
“Do the thing you fear, and the death of fear is certain”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
