5.最讓人畏懼的是 The most daunting thing is that

我們應該害怕什麼?

  
  在汪洋中有一艘前往英國的船,途中遭遇海上暴風,全船的人都驚慌失措,陷入絕望,只有一位老太太神情淡定,平靜的在祈禱。
等到暴風雨離開後,有人問這位老太太,為什麼剛才她一點都不害怕?
  老太太回答:「我有兩個女兒,大女兒已經被上帝接走了;小女兒住在英國。所以剛才我在向上帝禱告,如果接我回到天國的家,我就去看大女兒;如果讓我活下來,我就去看小女兒。不論如何,去到哪裡都一樣,我為什麼要害怕?」
  「不要害怕你的生命會結束,而要害怕它從未開始。」—格雷斯.漢森John Henry Cardinal Newman
  面對未知的恐懼,我們總是既期待又害怕受傷害。當有一件事情是你必須去做的,或是一直想去做的,不用畏懼,就放手一搏。有些事情,現在的你沒有去做,之後也不會做了。
  我們不用總是要得到別人的認可,才能去做一件事。只要這是不違背道德良心、不違背倫理法律的事,又何嘗不去嘗試呢?人生只有一次,為自己而活。最應該讓人感到害怕的是,你明明很想去做,卻總擔心這個又害怕那個,拖拖拉拉直到生命最後的一刻,才懊悔自己為什麼從未開始。
  把握每個當下,生命沒有那麼多悔不當初。別讓自己活在羨慕忌妒的情緒裡,想要就靠自己爭取,身體力行去實現,不再因為懼怕而留下遺憾。

The most daunting thing is that

What should we be afraid of?
  There was a ship bound for England in the ocean, and on the way, it encountered a storm at sea, and the whole ship panicked and fell into despair, and only an old lady looked calm and calmly prayed.
  After the storm left, someone asked the old lady why she wasn't afraid at all just now.
  The old woman replied, "I have two daughters, and the eldest daughter has been taken away by God; The youngest daughter lives in the UK. So just now I was praying to God that if I were to be taken back to my home in heaven, I would go to see my eldest daughter; If I had to survive, I would go see my little daughter. It's the same everywhere I go, so why should I be afraid? 」
  "Don't be afraid that your life will end, but fear that it never begins." —John Henry Cardinal Newman
  In the face of the fear of the unknown, we are always both expectant and afraid of being hurt. When there's something you have to do or something you've always wanted to do, don't be afraid, just give it a go. There are some things that you don't do now, and you won't do after that.
  We don't always have to be approved by others to do something. As long as this is something that does not violate moral conscience and does not violate ethical laws, why not try it? Life is only once, live for yourself. What should be most frightening is that you want to do it, but you are always worried about this and that, dragging your feet until the last moment of your life, only to regret why you never started.
  Grasp every moment, life is not so regretful. Don't let yourself live in the mood of envy and jealousy if you want to fight on your own, practice to achieve, and no longer leave regrets because of fear.
