''The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.''
This is a famous saying of the US president '' Roosevelt''. Please explain it.
Fear in itself is dangerous because it debilitates. By this I mean that if you go into war terrified of what is going to happen, you have already halfway lost because oyu will not have the confidence in yourself to take opportunities, or strike out with determination. If you go into war confident and prepared and ready, you're already halfway there. (This is that whole glass-half-empty-half-full thing, I'm sure.)
So, in itself, fear can be dangerous because if you are afraid you might fail at something that you should have otherwise succeeded at.
Make any sense?
Chilli, it couldn't be explained better than that.
Yeah, FDR couldn't have explained it better. LOL
That was beautifully put!
"Expect the unexpected." Eh?
