[series] How I made it - managing fear

I'm sometimes afraid when it gets dark, or the wind blows strongly. I'm sometimes afraid of ghosts. Among all these things, failure is not one of them. Nor is embarrassment. I see failures and embarrassments as opportunities to a new land that I've never been before. I see them as routes to innovation and creation. I see them as a bridge connecting today me and a better me in the future.

When I have a new idea, and no one supports it, I'll still do it. When a lot of people support one thing, I will not necessarily buy it. This is because I believe maybe I see something thoroughly but other people do not see it. If I feel afraid because of this, it is not reasonable. Because I know I see something more deeply than others and I have to learn to believe in my own judgement instead of others. Maybe people try a lot of different ways and want me to do as they told me, maybe they think they're helping me, but I have to be wide awake to keep a balance to take advice from others, and sometimes to stick to my own ways and take risks. That's what made me special and more successful because I listen to myself instead of others.
