Toastmasters Division H {Taiwan}

There is a series of philosophy books for kids. 

Let's take a look at "Courage and Fear" this time.

All of us have fears. We might have fear of darkness, loneliness, ghost, war,

nuclear thing, losing job, illness, age, 2012, being ugly, losing beauty,  change,

unknown, got hurt, pain, despite, death ... etc.

Do you notice that? The list is all abstract.

If you are afraid of snake or spider, it's cause it causes the fear of death and got hurt and pain and disease.

If you trace what you fear, you will find they all point to certain element.

One of the greatest fear is standing on the podium. However, we Toastmasters

are conquering it. How cheerful it is!

You can share:

- Define "Fear". In your daily life, what are the worst fears in your mind?

or,

- Define "Courage". How do you encourage yourself or other people?
