Re: What is Important?
I say the most important thing in life is overcoming fear of failure. I can go on and on about this, but once you climb over that barrier, life gets better for everyone. Imagine, if the Wright Brothers did not overcome their fear of failure, or Martin Luther did not nail the 95 thesis on the door, or Martin Luther King Junior did not stand up for injustice because fear was holding him back? It is the fear of failure that holds us back every day. The fear of failing to form a relationship with that one girl. Who knows? What if your spouses did not have the courage to first talk to you back when you were younger (referring to you mentors). What if I had not had the courage to join Robotics because of my fear of failure. The fear of failure that told me that I would be useless, or I would be tagged as a nerd, or there was someone just smarter than me there. The fear of failure is engraved in all our minds, others saying that I am not smart enough for a certain school or fast enough to play a certain position.
"All you need is ignorance and confidence and the success is sure."
-Mark Twain

“I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears” (Psalm 34:4)
