【推荐1】A psychologist once said，“If you’ve overcome every one of your fears，congratulations—you’re dead.” This humorous saying points to a simple truth—no one can escape fear completely.

However, fear can be a good thing. It is a natural, healthy reaction to danger. In fact, sometimes we are afraid of things that aren’t dangerous，such as public speaking，failing a test，or being rejected. These unhealthy fears can keep us from achieving our dreams.     1    

First, admit what you fear and then share it with someone you trust. Perhaps you worry that others would look down on you if they know what you fear, but you might be surprised at how many other people share the same fears.     2    

Second, ask yourself, “What is the worst-case scenario?”     3     If you think about it, the worst might not be that bad after all. Compared with the fear of losing a competition or being turned down，the regret of having missed opportunities can be even harder to bear. Even worse, you will never know what you might have accomplished.

Finally, take small steps toward overcoming your fear.     4     If your talk doesn’t go well, try again. Each small success will increase your confidence and persistence, which is one of the keys to success.

You might never completely overcome your fear of certain things, but what is important is that you can bring yourself to do what you fear.     5     It’s also true that you struggle with fear and don’t let your fears stop you from getting the most out of life.

If there were no problems in your job, then your employer would hire a much less capable (能干的) person than you to do the things that don’t need much thought. In the business world, those who are able to solve difficult problems are the ones who are the most valuable to the employer.

Boxer Gene Tunney broke both hands in the ring.     3    . But at that time his manager felt that he could never again punch（重击）hard enough to be the heavyweight champion. Instead, Tunney determined to become a scientific boxer and win the title as a boxer.     4    . As a puncher, he would not have had a chance against Jack Dempsey, who was considered by many to be the hardest hitter in heavyweight history. Tunney would never have been a champion, if he had not had the problem of his broken hands.

    5    , you should smile and say, “Here’s my chance to win.”
