Dropping out due to your "fears?" - It is time to grow up. You may try, you may even fail (sometimes miserably). So what? - get back up and try again.
Theodore Roosevelt is famous for many things among which are his words of wisdom. Listed below, in no particular order, are some quotes worthy of your review.
"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat"
"It is not the critic that counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."
"There is no disgrace in failure, only in a failure to try."
"Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty... I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well." - Des Moines, Iowa, November 4, 1910
With all due respect, 2banana, if Nakatu is clinically depressed, your suggestion is misguided.
Depressed people often can't "get back up and try again" no matter how hard they try.
I know because I was there once and depression can be a hell that only other depressives can comprehend.
Think of sitting in a movie theater, terrified as you watch a horrifying scene unfold.
Now, imagine if that feeling never stops....at any time....no matter what....imagine of living minute-to-minute in the real world in that state of mind.
That's what depression can be like.
Nakatu, my prayers are with you.
