Quote: None of us likes to feel at risk. We all take different steps to protect ourselves from potential loss. Some, for example, are so afraid of failure that they avoid it by never attempting anything difficult. That's rather like being so worried about a burglary that you refuse to accumulate so much as a single possession. You are now being very brave. In the process, you are undoubtedly exposing yourself to a possible let-down. But you are also preparing yourself for a much more possible (and likely) moment of triumph.
