By Andrew Shaffer · Wednesday, April 18,2007 12 a.m.

The fear of failure

By Adam Geller and Ashley Heishman · Tuesday, April 17,2007 12 a.m.

Someone once said, “The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.” Now, how exactly does this work, and how can the biggest mistake in life actually come from not doing anything? Well, this past year I have witnessed over and over again how this fear of failure can be a huge mistake. This fear too often causes people to stop challenging themselves in school and other aspects of their life. It can stop them from taking more demanding classes or pursuing a tougher major. The chance of failure can stop people from learning and growing from challenging opportunities they could have taken. And ultimately, I have seen this fear stop students from reaching their potential, achievements and success. All because there was a chance of failure.
