It's the prospect 59 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 3: of personal failure. Humans fear failure, the possibility of attempting 60 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 3: something and not succeeding will prevent many people from even trying. 61 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 3: But you must not let fear become your identity.
