Assignment 19:
This isn’t really the traditional oral advice, but my
grandmother had this plaque in her kitchen with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt:
“Do one thing each day that scares you.”
This is just a great point of advice for everyone, because fear is something
that we deal with each day. The fears of
looking silly, of messing up, of awkwardness are all present in our lives. If you look at the things we can be afraid
of, you will find they are often inconsequential, and don’t matter in the long
run; if you look at the situation and decide that the good is worth the risk of
all the “bad” that could happen, then you can meet new people, try new
things. If we face our fears, by doing
something even though it scares us, we can live better and fuller lives. Scare yourself each day, and eventually you
won’t have any fear.
