General Patton once said:'' Everybody is afraid of something. The cleverer he is, the more fearful he feels. Brave people are those who is regardless of their fear and force themselves to do the things.''
Here is a story about Napoleon.
A normal person needs about a whole year to prepare for a campaign, instead of which, Napoleon only needs two weeks for a campaign because of his unique enthusiasm and superior judgement. Austrians thought the idea to cross the Alps was impossible and funny. They said:'' There are no cars can cross the Alps and it is impossible to have.'' But to their surprise, Napoleon not only managed to do it but also with his army with his cannons which weighed hundreds thousands tons. Austrians who had lost the battle could never believe what had happened and said that:'' Our enemies are not human beings! They are the creatures can fly!''
One Austrians once said with great anger:'' This young commander know absolutely nothing about the wars. He never followed the art of the war. He may do everything beyond our imagination!'' That's the Napoleon we respect who dare to try everything.
The one who never take an adventure in his whole life time should pity to himself because of his waste of his life. In this world, only to face the problems directly and dare to take the risk can we get the victory and profit. Dare to to think and do and then can we have the chance to success. People always try to escape from the fear and thousands of time we miss the opportunities because of fear. To the people who are afraid of danger, they can always find some reasons to escape.
One day, a person asked a farmer:''Have you planted wheat?'' The farmer answered:''Not yet, I'm afraid that it will not rain.'' The person then asked:'' What about cotton? Have you planted them?'' Not yet, I concern that the worms may eat my cotton.'' The person finally asked:'' So what have you planted?'' The farmer answered:'' I have planted nothing to ensure the safety of my property.''
There is no 100% safety in this world. The risk is everywhere every time. When we face the fear, the only thing we should think about is how to overcome it instead of how to escape.
