Top 10 Fears!!

Taken from huatai(rion) while ii was browsing through his blog. ii think it's worth sharing cos it applies to me somehow.. lols!!

here it goes...

By Pete Connelly
Listed below are some of the common fears people face today, they are not listed in any particular order, although I will call them the Top Ten Fears.

1. Fear of Failure
This is wide spread and can stop people from even getting started, the cure is action. Going into action produces results, not always the results you want but in producing results you was able to feel that you are not failing.
my tots: it's just like taking exams.. if ii fail and ii know ii put in alot of efforts,ii will be devastated that all my efforts are gone.. thr's nothing left fer me except to restart it all over again.. so imagine if ur business fails,not only ur efforts gone but ur money,reputation and credibility will be lost too.. =(

2. Fear of Rejection.
One at the top of the list for lots of people, Rejection, we all dread it, have to face it sometimes in life even if it's just a rejection of our ideas. Again keeping going will carry you forward with this one.
my tots: if uu're my friend,uu will know that ii'm super self-conscious. so in order not to be rejected,ii'd rather not be the first to suggest something,especially if uu're a stranger. =X

3. Fear of Public Speaking
Some say this is No 1 with lots of people, simple action step again here join a speakers club where you will be encouraged and mentored
my tots: once again, my self-consciousness..or rather,lack of self-confidence. x_X

4. Fear of Criticism
When ever you step out you, try to make a mark chance is you will be criticised, for you to progress grow a thicker skin. Accept that others are entitled to their opinion.
my tots: not so much into it if it's coming from someone ii know.. if a stranger criticise me,ii think ii will breakdown.. lols!! overall,my skin not that thick and ii hate to eat pig skin. xD

5. Fear of what others think
People will think what they think and there is nothing we can do about it. One question, how do we know what they are thinking?
my tots: ii know this logic.. but ii cant stop myself from not thinking what others are thinking. =.=!! another cause is due to my self-consciousness again. -=sighs=-

6. Fear of being Alone
Real one this, you can join a club, a class, a voluntary organization they are out their for all ages.
my tots: ii think everyone is afraid of loneliness at a certain level in life. unless,uu are super independent or from a baby,uu're used to being alone. (single child with very busy working parents.) yet again,to me,it's my self-consciousness that is causing this. hahas!! true cos ii cant tolerate myself eating out alone,needless to say,going out alone. =X if ii do that,ii will think that everyone's staring at me.. lols!! but at least,ii've tried eating out alone while ii was working.. so not so bad still. =X

7. Fear of Financial Collapse
In the present climate all the sub prime talk and failing banks I have to say focus on your own financers not getting to hung up on the media and there coverage.
my tots: at my age,ii dunt belong here.. currently,singapore banks are considered safe.. and ii dunt think ii need that big support from finance unless out-of-nowhere, ii become a big shot in a big company.. wahahas!! -=dreaming=- o.O

8. Fear of Failing Health
Again a big one, no sweeping statement to cover this one, most people try to address this when it becomes critical try addressing it on a daily basis, all things in moderation.
my tots: when uu watch [1 litre of tears], uu'll start to think more about this,more about ur future.

9. Fear of Success
Again some people never get started because they fear success and what they think will be expected of them, in reality success is a lot of simple principles practiced on a daily basis.
my tots: if ii can be successful, why not? too bad,ii'm just too lazy to work towards success. z_Z

10. Fear of Death
Well lets face it there is no overcoming death, you cant get out of life alive, however trying to enjoy the day can take you away from morbid thoughts of our inevitable destination.
my tots: ii used to not afraid of death bcos to me,life and death is pre-destined.. uu'll go when uu're suppose to go but since after that "incident" last yr,it made me realised the feeling of DEATH..i'll never want to experience it again.. plus my mum always say this - it'll be easy if uu just go without knowing but tough when uu know uu're going yet still suffering. dunt uu think so?

indications:
red = ii'm into that fear somehow..seriously x_X
orange = it doesnt invovle me.. ii'm not part of it. xP


so out of the top 10,ii've got 8 =.=!! nice one huhs,joycelyn.. lols!!
overall conclusion, ii'm a failure.. hahas!! all mainly cause of my stupid self-consciousness. -=sigh=- how ii wish ii'm still a toddler...
