Those who can accomplish what the image above states and depicts are well on their way to a better life. Conquering fears are one of those things that take a lot of personal initiative. Once a fear is overcome some people, like myself seem more confident. One of my favorite quotes is "

“Do the thing you fear, and the death of fear is certain”. This was said by the great Ralph Waldo Emerson. To succeed at overtaking a fear, an enormous amount of courage is required. The one thing that i do not agree on about this picture is the caption, " then run like hell". From my own observation i have seen that those who are cowardice run, or give up when a problem surfaces. For instance, this friday the Moline Football team is facing their eldest rivals. The Rock Island Moline rivalry is the oldest sports grudge match in the state of Illinois. In the beginning of this season our team faced a good amount of adversity with five straight losses. Although this may have a negative impact on a team, defeat has only given us motivation to better our efforts. I can promise any spectators of our gruesome brawl, that we will do the opposite of cower, or run away from our foes.
