INSPIRATION FOR GREATNESS! (Part 3)

Hi Everyone,

We shall continue today on our earlier discussion.Follow me on this adventurous journey,you will enjoy it and trust me it will be fabulous experince.We are taking a closer meditative insightful look at the quote in part one of this series.
Yesterday, We established by the help of psychologists that FEAR is a natural emotional phonemenon common to all human beings in response to threat,danger or threat of pain.Anytime humanity faces threat or danger or uncertainty,the most likely response is FEAR.

Please my dear colleague in the school of life, there is absolutely no way on this planet that you won't experience FEAR.(this may be no news to you)There will never be a time when humanity will live free of fear.Why?You might want to ask me....
Here's the answer taught me in one of the tutorials of destiny:because there shall always be threat,danger and uncertainty.
As a Baby, before we took the first steps we feared-imagine with me the thoughts in the mind of a baby as he/she takes the first stepin learning to walk unaided(what if i fall down,what if the ground is not firm?........),but eventually we mastered it!Today as adults we run! because WE ACTED INSPITE OF OUR FEARS!
For corporate humanity to advance, all the champions of the previous generations had to cross this bridge!
Had they turned back in the face of threats, danger and uncertainty(which made them feel fear),humanity wont be here today.
Imagine if Thomas Edison had yielded his muscles to the ache and fatigue caused by succesive failures and massive threat and danger in his quest for the Electric Bulb?
It took him hundreds of attempts,many dissapointments and many failures,believe me each failure is painful!Each time he experimented, he wasn't sure!Yet HE REFUSED TO GIVE IN TO HIS FEARS!
For the Students of this great citadel of learning , We shall continue in the days to come......

But I leave you Today in this lecture with this lesson:

FEAR SHALL ALWAYS EXIST , COURAGE IS TO ACT INSPITE OF YOUR FEARS AND REFUSE TO TURN BACK!

See you soon

Your colleague In the School Of Life

Deoking!

I am committed to learning!
Join In this trip as we continue the second part of the series "INSPIRATION FOR GREATNESS!"


In this second part of the series,

We shall take a closer look at some part of the quote above.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure....."

Everyone of Us at one time or the other have or will certainly experience fear.

The online wikipedia defines it thus "Fear is an emotional response to threats and danger. It is a basic survival mechanism occurring in response to a specific stimulus, such as pain or the threat of pain"

This definition by expert psycologists John B. Watson, Robert Plutchik, and Paul Ekman have suggested that fear is one of a small set of basic or innate emotions. This set also includes such emotions as joy, sadness, and anger(according to wikipedia).

Therefore, In the School Of Greatness,let it be undoubtedly clear in our minds that all rational normal Human Beings(certainly with emotions)will certainly experience fear at one point or the other in our journey to greatness.

Are you a human being?Are you really reading this?

If your dream would really be worth the while, if you really,trully desire any thing great on this planet, then YOU SHALL UNDOUBTEDLY EXPERIENCE FEAR.

If you dont have fear, it means you've been doing it before, you have experience at it(eg driving, eating, skiing, dancing etc).You are used it to now,but do you remember the first experience?There was adrenaline, there was anticipation, there was FEAR.

Therefore my friend, in this 1st tutorial, I welcome you to Class by saying

Welcome to the School of greatness!

Your fear qualifies you for the category of the Unusual.

We shall continue on this stride in the days to come!

I remain your fellow student in the classroom of destiny in this great Ivory Tower!
