I think some fear is good, it just must be overcome.<BR/><BR/>Darwin - You surprise me, I would have thought you'd be the type to have done a sky dive at the first chance.<BR/><BR/>N - What was the quote? Sounds interesting. I actually now try to think of fear as a friend, not an enemy. Not a friend that has much influence over me, but I try to accept that it's there sometimes, then ignore it.<BR/><BR/>I can't rememebr the book but will try to figure it out and will let you know.Rhythmic Diasporahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184142486414379805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23964814.post-14466118961394329732007-04-18T02:48:00.000+01:002007-04-18T02:48:00.000+01:00probably move straight back to Sri Lanka...though ...probably move straight back to Sri Lanka...though actually on second thought that might go into the stupid category...right now at least...a friend gave me a quote on risk that really influenced me...but fear is a tough enemy to fight for sure...any idea what the book was?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23964814.post-9778995954193407722007-04-17T21:31:00.000+01:002007-04-17T21:31:00.000+01:00I'm taking your question literally, so I'd do a lo...I'm taking your question literally, so I'd do a lot more dare-devilish things if I wasn't afraid.
