When I was ten, I spent weeks worry
ing about a
school concert. I was terrified I would play badly and
that my classmates
will laugh at me. I told my dad about my fear, he said, I should think of
it as an opportunity to be brave. Courage doesn't mean not being
afraid, it means doing what you need to do even when you feel afraid, fear doesn't have to
paralyze you.
Fear of failure is part of life. People worry about test
s at school, and
presentations at work (???), others are afraid to start a business or to speak English to a foreigner.
But should you fear mistakes? No, failure can move you toward success. It can teach you what you need to do to improve. You
gain skills by trying risky things. Even if they don't
work out. When I was learning Chinese, mistake
s sometimes help
ed me . when friend correct
ed my mistakes. It's actually helped me remember the right word.
