Overcoming the fear of failure | Dan Hagen | TEDxNicoletCollege

In Dan's teen years, he was afraid to fail. This fear led him to quit sports he enjoyed, and not try in school. A quote by Theodore Roosevelt, however, sent his life on a new trajectory. Dan embraces failure now, including trying something completely new at the end of the talk: stand-up comedy. Dan lives in the beautiful Northwoods of Wisconsin and works as assistant news director and evening anchor for WJFW Newswatch 12. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Once i was feared from failure i just constantly ruminate about my parents, and other people's thinking but now i reduced it so much by improving myself not caring about others and living my own life. Even i used to think about my thinking constantly but Alhamdulilah life becomes better and easy with the passage of time. Left the things which God forbade make friends started sitting with them the university life which i used to scare so much now try to go there despite whatever my feeling. It was my journey. Ignore my writing 😢

I am terrified. I wanna be the topper of my college . I was second 🥈 in my freshman year. I don't do that again. Because, because since high school it been 4 year in row i am second 🥈😭 . what can I do ? to rid myself of my fear. and convince myself that it is possible.

[@pratimroy9437]

You must have documented some goals, if not document it. Then make sure the goal post does not shift. Example Today I will study and revise Regression Analysis End of today, big success right? So tomorrow I will study Correlation, and include 2 more areas of Statistics.. There, I have just shifted my goal... You aim for something you are not capable of. But if today I have learnt Regression Analysis End of today, wow that was success. Tomorrow I will dig a bit deeper and understand it completely.. That should not move the goal post and would lead you to your original goal.

Well, watching them melt away within 48 hours felt so good, and yes, I used what I mentioned the other day. It actually took a bit more to make them totally disappear, I just go’ogled Melissa Thanderski and the pain unexpectedly disappeared so quickly.
