 Illustration by Miki Howenstein  Make goodness reign 1) The best antidote to fear is action!
2) “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.“ (Edmund Burke) JR: When we freeze up in fear, our whole being becomes paralyzed, and we are unable to move. The best antifreeze is for you to take action and, in doing so, weaken fear’s grip. You probably will still be afraid, but your attempt to overcome the fear allows you to regain some control over it, and over your life. PP: Think of a time when something was happening in your life that made you feel extremely afraid. What did you do to overcome the fear, or how did it come to pass? PA: PETRIFIED - that’s how I felt before giving the presentation for our MBA project. Our group had worked on it for more than 6 months but I was still not confident, and I was to be our group’s main presenter. And, WHAT DO YOU KNOW - I completely flubbed it. We still passed, and I went to the bar to drown my sorrows. Yet, it was a great lesson in humility, and it was only in carrying out the program to the end that I developed more confidence in myself, in terms of being able to be persistent and reliable even in trying situations.

Fear is just in our heads. We can easily conquer fear if we know what will happen next. For example, we fear that we might fail a subject in school, but if we know that we study hard, the feeling of fear will never come in our mind. If we fear that we might lose someone, then do your best that you could so that he will never leave you, and if he do, then you will never have regrets because you have done your best.
