CCIIIB - Rights to Write - Task 10 - 2nd Reply

Dear Nicole,

You are right, sometimes we tend to escape and retreat without even knowing that we're giving up. It often begins with small things that we think is okay to give up on, then gradually as we encounter bigger problems that we cannot solve, we give up again, until one day giving up becomes a habit without us even realizing it.

Everybody has these problems sometime in their lives, it's a natural part of what being human is all about. But it takes real intelligence to see and recognize our faults and not blindly fool ourselves into believing that we have no faults. Only when we can see what our real weaknesses are, can we hope to eliminate them.

It is good that you read books that encourage you for the better, and that also means that you have already found and know what your own weaknesses are. And since you are reading out of free will and are self motivated to find solutions, it means that you are not blinded by your own faults. I'm sure you will be able to conquer your fears eventually.

I like your way of self examination, by reviewing yourself after some time, and see your difficulties with a clear mind and be reasonable enough to figure things out. This is not always easy, especially for most people who have gotten so used to "blindfolding" themselves from their faults, that they simple ignore it.

In the end of this comment, which is already becoming too long, I would like to share a saying that I saw with you: "Bravery is not having no fears; it is having the courage to face your fears."
