Fear is either a drug that will allow you to have a high performance or a drug that will keep you cold in a corner.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>It is normal to feel it. Bill Gates famously said he watched Microsoft with fear and a sense of constant threat. I felt the constant threat that the company became irrelevant from one day to the next.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Becoming a winning entrepreneur, or a winner in general, simply resides in your ability to turn fear into something productive, and that largely depends on your attitude.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>So if you feel:</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Fear of uncertainty, then do a small test where what you can lose is not something you can not recover</p>\n<p>Fear of losing everything, then learn to live with very little and get rid of your material attachments</p>\n<p>Fear of making a fool of yourself, then make a fool of yourself at the next party (where you're not the star)</p>\n<p>Fear of failure, then of the 32 teams that go to the soccer world cup, it is better that 31 do not go because they do not see sure to win the cup? The school deceived you: life does not end because you get a 4 on the test.</p>\n<p>Fear of success is more common than you think. Do you really visualize yourself being successful?</p>\n<p>Afraid of not being prepared or not being up to the task? Well that is an alarm that in the process you must be alert, it is not a message that you do not do it. You have misplayed the message.</p>\n<p>Fear of the unknown? Well, do some research and know more. Travel a bit and feel how that fear of being in a different place becomes a brilliant emotion to give more color to your life.</p>\n<p>When you feel afraid, stop thinking and do something.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Like success, failure is different things for different people. With a positive mental attitude, it is a learning experience, a stumbling block in the staircase, a blockage in the rise where you put your thoughts in order to prepare and try again.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>W. Clement Stone</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VSOV10kLpX4/hqdefault.jpg\" /></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>In the photo, W. Clement Stone (1902-2002) with the President of the United States, Gerald Ford.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Clement Stone is one of those entrepreneurs who came from below, inheriting debts from his father who died at 3 years of age, surpassing himself to build a business of two billion dollars in insurance and being a great philanthropist.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>In 1908, when he was just a 6-year-old boy, he started selling newspapers to his children like many other children did on the street, only that he was looking for them in restaurants. It was something new at the time. At the beginning, the owners tried to dissuade him, but Clement, with his positive attitude, his charm and good education, in addition to the fact that the diners did not bother them, they gave him permission. Defying rejection and setbacks with determination and a good attitude, he discovered that he could achieve any goal.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>That is why he turned himself into an example of overcoming, applying the principles of the classic book Think and Grow Rich that he read in 1932 and seeking to spread the importance of the \"positive mental attitude\" until his last years of life.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><br></p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"pkj64vhdx","appParentAuthor":"ss3333","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
