1. The Fear of Epic Failure
Different people are afraid of different things caused by various reasons and have
many effects. Some people are afraid of strange noises while others are afraid of
mysterious events. I myself am afraid of failure.
The fear of failure has many causes. Sometimes I think that the time I spend
studying is not enough. So, I become afraid of failing a test. Moreover, the fear of
future-life failure sometimes hunts me like an animal. Random thoughts of future-
life failure pop up in my mind without any tolerence. This is harder than it looks.
Imagine yourself, after working hard all your life, ending up with nothing but an
epic failure. To keep myself positive, I remember that all heroes will fall but that
does not mean they won’t rise again, better than ever.
This fear generates many effects as well. Although thinking about it is scary, it
makes me do my best. It also makes me push myself beyond my limits and
uncover my talents. It encourages me to work harder than ever. They say courage
is fear waiting a minute longer.
Bottom line is, although the fear of failure hunts me down, I handle it well. May
be this is what success is all about.
