【英语早间课堂】当生活艰难时-理解感激你的恐惧(8)

When life gets rough 生活艰难时

 

Understand and be grateful for your fears

 

理解感激你的恐惧

 

 

Fear can be a great teacher. And overcoming fears can also make you feel victorious¹. For example, when I was in college, I feared public speaking (one of the top 3 fears of all humans).

 

 

So I find it humorous now that not only do I speak in front of a group every day by being a college professor, I also teach public speaking! Overcoming fears just takes practice.

 

 

Fear is really just an illusion². It's optional.
