I have always been a huge fan of the game of golf, I have always loved both watching and playing it. I always borrow my dad's golf clubs whenever I go out on the course, on this particular occasion I had accidentally broken one of his clubs. I was scared to death of what my father would say, as these were his favorite clubs. I decided to hide this fact from my father until I found a permanent solution to replace or fix the club. I had trouble sleeping at night, only thinking about the potential consequences I might have to face. In the morning I found the strength to tell my father the truth and accept potential punishment for my actions. To my surprise, my father was more ecstatic than angry. He explained to me that he is proud that I was honest and sincere with him, he also praised me for fighting my fear to find the courage to do the right thing. In this scenario, fear worked as a positive thing when thinking about potential future outcomes. I managed to preserve my "dignity", despite being oppressed by the fear of continuing to hide the truth. You must strive to balance your respective fears with the foresight of the future to be truly successful
