I disagree. In my opinion, great fear results in failure. You know why? Sometimes, our brain might jammed, we don't know what to do due to great fear, nervous and so on. And, we cannot think directly because what we feel at that time stopped us from doing things correctly instead, we do things very badly. For example, my friend was taking an exam. A big and important exam. But he was too nervous, and do you know what happened to him? He don't know what to do and he failed the exam.

Not necessarily. Great fear can immobilize someone as well. It depends greatly upon whom the fearful experience is bestowed. I honestly believe that fear is what can motivate us to greatness, or make us descend into the depths of our own hell. What about the young man, stuck on the railroad tracks with an oncoming train speeding toward him. He sits, paralyzed in fear, and never makes it out of the car before he and his car are crushed by the oncoming train?
Great fear can also result in tremendous positive action, simply because we cannot tolerate feeling the emotion of fear and we will find any way we can to resolve what it is that frightens us. 911 and Flight 21 (I think that's the flight number) that was hijacked caused tremendous fear in the passengers, yet the unwillingness to be frightened and immobilized caused the passengers to rise up and take back the plane, diverting it to another place instead of the target for which it was intended.
So, in conclusion, I believe that it can result in either no action or great action. One thing is for certain though, it definitely tips the scales dramatically, either way it goes. There is no in between, no middle ground for the results of this question. I hope this answers your question.

I disagree. Fear of communism led to the House Un-American Activities committee.
Fear of Japanese spies in WW2 led to the internment of thousands of people who were not spies, and in some cases were more loyal to the United States than Japan.
Fear can also lead to good things - a man afraid for his life may fight harder than he normally could - but it doesn't always help matters.

While great fear can be an effective motivator for ordinary achievements, the extraordinary feats are motivated by the desire to excel. Great fear can motivate us to pass an exam, but it is the desire to excel that can make us work for the top rank. This is true in all aspects of human life.
