I've had a wonderful night... and this wasn't it Jacob Ferguson


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.
