The Top 5 Most Common Fears And Why They Are Hard To Deal With

In large part, fear of certain objects or situations can be learned from others. Children can learn to fear spiders and snakes because they witness their parents’ fear of such creatures. On the other hand, children of entrepreneurial parents are more likely not to be afraid to start their own  businesses.

Many people learn their fears from those around them or they allow themselves to become fearful of something simply because they feel a certain situation may be potentially harmful or dangerous.

Communication Paradigm Breaking

It’s no wonder so many of us lack adequate conversation skills. Some of our oldest memories still haunt and influence us as adults. Because of our earliest training, we are predisposed to refrain from initiating a conversation. When we were impressionable toddlers, our parents taught us:
- Good things come to those who wait.
- Silence is golden.
- Wait to be properly introduced.
- Don’t talk to strangers.

Those messages served us well as kids; the advice helped ensure our safety and taught us manners. But now, as adults, our safety isn't at stake with every new person we meet! And by now our manners are well established. The time has come to replace those old messages with more relevant advice. Here it is.....

Where fears came from ?

AFTER BECOMING THE NO. 1 TENNIS PLAYER IN the world in 1995, Andre Agassi injured his  wrist. He slipped to No. 141 by 1997, but with a renewed dedication to training, especially weightlifting, he  started the long climb back up the rankings.

Understanding Your Fears

Though we often think about fear in a negative context, the truth of the matter is that fear can be a very positive thing. It tells us when we are in physical danger, it helps us figure out what things make us  uncomfortable and it reminds us of hurts we have experienced in the past. However, in many cases, fear can also be a cage that prevents us from doing what we want and releasing the Superhero inside.

What’s the Big Deal About Small Talk ?

You pull into the parking lot, turn off the engine, and sit for a minute dreading the next two hours. An important client has invited you to an open house in celebration of their new downtown office. You hate these things. You don’t know what to say, you don’t know anyone except the client, and you always feel like you’re trying not to look lost; so you eat and drink more than you should, just to stay occupied.

You must attend—that’s a given—but you sink deeper into the front seat and agonize over how long you have to stay. Will dropping by for thirty minutes do the trick, or will you insult one of your best clients if you don’t stay for the whole event ?

WEIHENMAYER, ERIK

AFTER TWO YEARS OF SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS AND going from doctor to doctor, the Weihenmayer family finally got a diagnosis: their three-year-old son, Erik, had retinoscheses, an extremely rare eye disease, especially for someone so young. His parents’

hearts dropped as the doctors briefed them: Weihenmayer’s retinas were detached in the center of his pupils, which prevented him from seeing straight ahead. He did have limited peripheral vision, but by his teens, he would be blind
