Fear is Your Friend

Timothy Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Body:

"So, fear is your friend.  Fear is an indicator.  Sometimes, it shows what you shouldn't do, more often than not, it shows you exactly what you should do.  And the best results that I've had in life, the most enjoyable times, have all been from asking a simple question:  'What's the worst that could happen?'  Especially, with fears that you gained when you were a child.

Take the analytical frameworks, the capabilities that you have, apply them to old fears, apply them to very big dreams.

When I think of what I fear now, it's very simple:  when I imagine what my life would have been like without the educational opportunities I have had.  It makes me wonder."

The UK version beats the US version, hands-down.  I tried watching the US version once for more than 5 minutes and utterly failed due to boredom.

This is lesbian love, well any love, boiled down to its raw and visceral nature.
