Failure, and of that there is no doubt. Fear for failure has no effect at all. However, fear of failure can hinder attempts at doing things we might be able to accomplish otherwise. Still, if you look over a cliff and then develop a fear that if you try to leap it, the fear of failure has likely just save you from great harm and possibly saved your life. Therefore, failure is the most dangerous.



If I find any references to how it affected u, then I will put that in in an edit. To the best off my knowledge, all u perished when the land of Ur fell to invaders.

You have a rather too narrow view about failure. I don't understand how can failure take everything in one day, unless, of course, one is an extremely reckless gambler. Failure , I believe, is the key to success. We learn from failure and change our strategy accordingly. Failure is not dangerous at all, provided we have the capability and courage to make it a step stone to success.



Fear of failure leads to inaction and therefore, it is really dangerous.

Physical danger is from failure.



Fear for failure makes a person prepare so well that this person hardly meets the failure!



(It is the attitude to look at the failure or its fear that causes disadvantages, which is created danger!)

Fear is an inherent urge that to some extent can protect you -- for instance when you avoid walking down a dark alley for fear of who could be lurking there. Yet when fear becomes an overwhelming theme in your life, and you begin to fear everything from losing your job to spiders to not being a good parent or spouse, it interrupts the natural joy that life is supposed to contain.



Whatever it is that you’re afraid of, the underlying battle is not with the object or the situation but rather with the fear itself.



“Fear is always false evidence appearing real. So fear always feeds on itself,” says Hale Dwoskin, CEO and Director of Training of Sedona Training Associates.



In other words, the more you focus on fear, and on the things that could go wrong, the 'what ifs' and the imaginary monsters lurking under your bed, the more real they become.



In reality, your fear is nothing more than unsettled, negative emotions that you allow to surface.



What is most important to realize is that fear is simply a feeling -- not a fact and not who you are -- and you can let it go no matter how strong it appears, Dwoskin says.



You see, our fears and doubts make us defensive. When we are defensive, we are holding in our mind what we don't want -- so that's what we get. As you release your defensiveness, you see solutions instead of problems, and your fear will suddenly disappear. You can learn exactly how to release your fears and defensiveness by learning the scientifically proven Sedona Method.



In short, the key to overcoming fear is to overcome your belief that you should be afraid.



"You must let go of the expectation that is built into the fear," Dwoskin says. "If you are afraid of public speaking, for instance, let go of the expectation of making a mistake or having the audience not like you. Also, remember that no matter how strong the fear may be you can always let it go and feel -- and actually be -- safer now."

Failure, but early. After that, the fear becomes worse. But the WORST is the fear of success because that means you actually not trying at all.

Fear of failure.

Failure is normal when we try to reach success. It is, in fact, a must. Failure means we try our best. Without failure, we only get easy success which won't last long.

Fear of failure only stop us from trying. Trying is the only way to be successful

Failure of fear.

When fear fails to compel those who seek success to avoid danger in their pursuit, than failure is the inevitable result.

Opportunity is merely preparation for dealing with potential dangers by foreseeing them in advance and calculating the risk vs the gain within the context of a desired goal or agenda.

That is of course assuming conscious will is able to decide within the context of select options from more than one course of behavior/action.





Success can not be achieved without failure.

You can learn from failure, but to fail you must first try. Fear of failure allows no trying, and thus no learning.



Failure is actually essential in several fields. In business, failure is necessary to get rid of bad or inefficient companies. In sports, failure is the opportunity to better learn how to defeat your competitor through better strategies and/or trying harder. And in science, failure is necessary to weed out the wrong and bad theories and hypotheses.

Failure is perceived not always unsuccessful I think.It is a mode of better experience and learning sometime.Failures have many categories.Some failures related to fear.These belong to certain uncertain results.And hence fear is created.So in to fearful case scientific and wise step should be taken.We should always think that a short man cannot be Amitabha Bachchan in the specific field.

- Failure. Fear of failure is not dangerous in and of itself because you can still act despite that fear. There is no shame in fear. There is only shame in letting fear win.

The fear of failure. It can paralyze you. It can hold you back from advancing in life.



At least with failure, you did something to get there. Even though you didn't succeed, you still tried..which is more to say than not trying at all.

What is a within a little danger? Could it be called fear?

One must always remember that: "Can't never did nothing."

Complacency is ones worst enemy.



'Failure' or 'fear of failure' are synonymous.

One must not allow complacency to set in.

Complacency breeds fear.



It should be noted that one should not be 'thin skinned', but one should learn to be "bold".

One should be wise and never allow one-self to pass up an opportunity.

Ones Wisdom should tell one that 'failure' is nothing more than an 'illusion'.



Peace be always with you.

in sha'Allah

Only pessimist person have fear of failure .

Fear doesn't change the nature it is our own nature because of which we fear failure.

it really does depend on the situation at hand, risk management is always something to keep an eye out for, objectively decide if the risks outweigh the possible benefits and decide from there.

It is unimaginable I think. I mean ordinary minds cannot penetrate into such high level ideas. It actually requires some specialized knowledge and training.
