Be a Catalyst, Start A Revolution
Ed Cabellon gave a presentation at the University of North Carolina - Pembroke on developing leadership skills and overcoming fear. He taught that leadership requires taking action rather than waiting, and that fear often holds people back from pursuing their goals and dreams. Cabellon provided strategies for removing fear, such as focusing on what excites you rather than what you want, realizing your own power, and aiming high instead of limiting yourself. He encouraged attendees to build their online presence through social media in order to make connections and find opportunities.

BREAKING UP WITHFEAR“I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened” – Mark TwainNow that we’ve defined FEAR, how do we rid ourselves of it, once and for ALL?!?Step 1: Uncover FEAR disguised as Optimism“There’s no difference between a pessimist who says, ‘Oh, it’s hopeless, so don’t bother doing anything’, and the optimist who says, ‘Don’t bother doing anything, it’s going to turn out fine anyway.’ Either way, nothing happens. – YvonChouinard, founder of PatagoniaLife won’t improve on it’s own. Be real with yourself, do you really think it will improve on its own or is it wishful thinking and an excuse for inaction?

- 34. Ex: It’seasier to raise $10,000,000.00 than it is $1,000,000; It’s easier to pick up the one “perfect 10” in a bar, than it is to pick up five different “8’s”.
