I think I'm less afraid of failure than some others.

I'm not afraid of failing. I don't like to fail. I hate to fail. But I'm not afraid of it.

I honestly think I'm the kind of person that is driven by fear of failure rather than striving for success. I tend to go to bed scared and wake up terrified.

I do get scared, but I think - like it says in another book I've read - feel the fear and do it anyway. I try to have courage, pray a little bit and work through it. I'd rather try, even if I fail.

I guess I'm motivated by the fear of failure to some degree and knowing what can happen when you don't do things the way you need to do them to have success.

Every time I act on a fear, I feel disappointed in myself. I have a lot of fear. If I can quit all fear in my life and all guilt, then I tend to be much, much more living up to my standards. I've never seen a person fail if they didn't fear failure.

I went to a motivational training course once, a course of self-discovery, and I found out after a week that my fear - it was not a fear of not being accepted - was a very violent fear of failure.

It's your own fear of failure that stops you from doing things.

I tend to think you're fearless when you recognize why you should be scared of things, but do them anyway.

I try to be as fearless as possible. I don't always succeed, but I like to think I try.
