As with many things in life the worst case scenario we imagine never happens。I remember that in a very difficult period in my life I worried about making the right decisions。All kinds of“what if？”questions were blocking any decision。But fear is a bad adviser。I looked for help and read Dale Carnegie's book Don't Worry，Live！There was one sentence that—for me—made the whole book worth reading：“What of all the worries you have had ever came true？”
Not a single one。None of the things I had worried about in previous years had come true。So I concluded that all I worried about today would most likely also never come true as well。So why worry？Calculate carefully and then make a decision。That's what I did and I have never regretted。That of course does not mean I did not make any mistakes along the way。Of course I did。But every time that happened I was aware that the only one who could get me out of a situation I got myself in was myself。Even if pulling hard on my braid hurts，it always works。
