Disagree, argue, and please state your points ;) I am very open to them lol, either way, we learn every day.
I have been in these shoes. The one thing I was always afraid of was Failure and I have said this time without numbers. I don't like venturing into something if I was going to fail at the end of it all.
To me, there was no compensation for failure, so I thought.
If you have ever failed in an important project or the least thing like an examination then you will know that it feels like a death-end especially for some people that take life way too seriously.

Failure is a big threat to mankind whether we like it or not. Please let's keep the bunch of silly talks and most times words of motivation because no one really wants to be a failure in life.
Don't be carried away by motivational speakers that you don't know when and where to apply their logic.

To some persons, failure opened them up to different opportunities.
To some, failure hardened them and made them become what they are today.
To another, failure humbled them to learn from others and take up life challenges.
One way or the other, failure always has a way of dealing with man individually.
It either serves as a lesson to you or it's a threat.

The Fear Of Failure Is The Beginning Of Wisdom

Like I said, you can prove your point. Certainly, you can disagree or disapprove of this.
But to some extent, I have seen a person become overly serious with life and the task at hand simply because the word Failure was being mentioned.

A student who is threatened about becoming a failure if he or she doesn't utilize his or her time well to study will end up doing so and why is that? That student is simply afraid of failure or you can say that he or she doesn't wanna become a failure and that alone serves as wisdom to that person.

Fear, though not a positive virtue pushes or urges people to do positive things at times, does that even make any sense? Can't say.
Again you don't have to agree with me ;)

A lady who is afraid of making mistakes in marriage or making wrong decisions will stay single until she is convinced about what she wants and her decision is certain (after all, women are more concerned about building a good home as much as men are about their businesses, no need to argue this)
And this drives this person to read books, make research on building a good home, and also praying even before venturing into marriage.
Still, the fear of being a failure in marriage became the beginning of wisdom for the lady.

A man or some bunch of men has abruptly refused to venture into businesses of their desires or even start up something because they feel they might not be able to run the business or that their finance won't be enough to fund or run the business ot whatever project at hand to the end and so they are afraid of folding up after some years or months.

With this, such men will stop at nothing but to plan their life well, to better utilize the finances or money that gets into their account or pocket, and at the end of it all, fear of failure in business served as wisdom to make better and more reliable plans.

I will love you to pause here, take a deep breath, and ponder on this.
What truly drives you to keep striving?
What's your reason for working your ass out even when your body deserves some rest but you cheat it to it?
Why do you stay up all night looking at your computer and other gadgets and sometimes developing serious migraines yet you endure it?
What makes you burn the night candle when you could have comfortably embrace your pillow and sleep to your heart content?
What are those reasons that throw you off your bed and get you buckled and ready for the day?

For all or most of us, the ready-made answer is; "SUCCESS".
And what's the opposite of success, baby boy or girl, man or woman, it is "FAILURE".
If you aren't succeeding in something, then it definitely means you are failing in it.
No one loves to fail, except such person is a psycho (sorry to say)
No matter how little, no matter how long, no matter how difficult, we all desire success.
Yes, we all wish and want to succeed in whatsoever we do.
And truth be told if there was a way to eradicate all the motivations people receive only after failure, then the majority would have given their vote for it.

Failure teaches!
Failure empowers!
Failure humbles!
Failure threatens!
But the Fear Of Failure is the beginning of wisdom!
This is what fuels a man.

Wise up! If you must succeed in life.
Have a very lovely day and weekend!

Still your baby girl ;)
