Fear Factor

Fear is a powerful personal motivator

I read that somewhere

I believe it!!

Is it that the more you see in the world,

the more you can be affected by the fear factor?

Once, back in the day (you know, when I was young)

like during the 70's.

Working at the U. S. District Courts,

plodding away like the good old government worker

I was - young - wanted more money and power, etc.

Job offer from a Steamship Company

I had experience in the field

I would be Operations Manager

make more money

"Mr. Big Shot"

I resigned the job at the Court.

Next working day

Reported to my new job

hear from "younger than me" punk guy

he was the Operations Manager

he was making more money than me

less experience

everything wasn't quite how they laid it out

talk with the "boss" man

he himmed and hawed

no I wasn't the Operations Manager just yet

there were some things they had to work out

yada, yada, yada.....

walked out of the job at Lunch time

walked to old job site

asked for my job back

got it

walked back to my new job and resigned.

Crazy, Right?

Point is, when I was young I had NO FEAR (at least it seemed)........as time goes on......I realize I just wouldn't do something like that now.

Back to my question: Is it that the more you see in the world,

the more you are affected by fear?

Viva the Cruise.

Peace Upon You.
