Learn from Fear (Pirlo&Peter)


Learn from Fear (Pirlo&Peter)
            In Karen Walker’s presentation, she told us a true story about a marine peril. In this case, these crews who survived in shipwreck faced three choices: go to the nearest islands, go to Hawaii, and go south and back to South America by wind. However, each choice comes with a fearful consequence. Therefore, how to choose them will be an important problem. In telling the story, Karen Walker talks about how fear propels imagination, and fears make us to imagine the possible futures and how to cope with fears.
            Karen Walker provides out an important point about exploring ones fear, and where the fear comes from. Much of the trouble in the world comes from the avoidance of understanding ourselves and our fear. When fear comes to look into the future and making long term decisions, people have to make their fears transform into their concerns because if it remains people’s fear, people would take the wrong decisions as the sailors took in this example. Therefore, people need to conquer their fears and transform them into concerns, then make logical decisions.  People can let fear kill their minds, but people can also use fear to make more careful decisions about the future. The key point is to be able to keep a cool head and rationalize before making those careful decisions.
            Fear is not only our troubles but also is a chance for us to decide our future. For some pessimists, fear can make them to loss heart, even give up their future. However, for some optimists, fear is a kind of chance of success; fear can let them make a careful and logical plan for their future. Therefore, people should not to avoid fears; instead, people should try to face fears, and find out the solution for the fears. To be a success survivor in fears, and do not die in fears.

  2. Please avoid plagiarism: For "In telling the story, Karen Walker talks about how fear propels imagination, and fears make us to imagine the possible futures and how to cope with" you lose 1 mark. If I was in a bad mood, I could give you zero for this post. You must use " " to show these are not your own words!
    Your second paragraph is the best. The third paragraph neglects the important point of story having two sides, the artistic and the scientific. Other than that, this is a fair summary. 3.5-1 = 2.5/5

    1. Sorry Les, we apologize to you at here formally. When we wrote this article, we thought to repeat the content was not very important,it just to show some information, so we chose some sentences from the abstract. We admit this is our fault. We promise we will not do like this again. Thanks for your checking.-----Pirlo
