Don´t Be Afraid

I think one of the most important messages this book has given me is Don´t waste your life being afraid. Fear is the main obstacle we can come across with when trying to move ahead in life. Many times I find myself being afraid of thing I do not know, but I’ve learnt that I can not know how to do everything and to enjoy the opportunity to learn new things. In one occasion during a lecture on graphic design an important Brazilian designer told us she was never afraid of the things she did not know, on the contrary she said she usually took on jobs which required her to do things she did not know. She was happy to had come across those jobs as they made her learn a lot about the profession and about life itself. I think this was a good lesson for me, she taught me not to feel bad but to take the situation as a good challenge to learn from it.
