Nope because you will not always succeed at everything you do.. Failure it not the problem. Fearing failure is a problem. It can stop you from succeding more so then anything else.

Only if that failure is of the mechanical kind, as in, the brakes on the bus...
See? if you look at the problem from a different angle, you suddenly see how ridiculous it all seems.
When was the last time you had to change a light bulb? The light bulb had failed, it wasn't providing light. The light bulb had blown, but its failure wasn't a major issue.
Failure's nothing to be afraid of. I'm going to sound like a self help book and say failure's a minor setback, a chance for a breather, an opportunity to stop and take stock of the situation.
Hasn't put your mind at rest at all, has it? But you did sort of smirk at the bus - brakes line, didn't you? I'm much better at off the cuff jokes than I am at giving advice. And you've seen the quality of my jokes...

It is better to be in danger, than to live in fear. If you fear failure, you will never accomplish anything and I believe that is failure. Even a new colt has to wobble around and fall sometimes before it learns to stand strongly and run.......
good luck & bless

Utilize it . A question for you . What is the opposite of success?
Wrong. the answer is settling. You see people that have won or found success in life have failed many many times before they made it so there for failure is a component for building success NOT the opposite. You only achieve failure when you settle and stagnate and never try again.

Yes. If you don't fear you might not weigh the problems enough to approach with appropriate caution. Fear is a tool. Just don't let you're imagination take it beyond what it's actually entitled. It usually takes courage to do most anything new. There's no courage without fear. Courage is simply action DESITE fear. The art of being the only one to know that you're scared to death.

No, you don't need to fear failure. But I know how hard it is not to.

A consequence of fearing failure is to never try.
If a person is driven by a fear such as this, would they ever attempt anything?
No.

No, there are lessons in failure.
What you should fear is not trying.

No don't fear failure, take failure out of your vocabulary and don't even acknowledge that it exists, strive for everything and it will be yours. God Bless.

No. Failure only makes you appreciate Success even more. As someone said: 'Success is 99% failure.'
The wise thing to do is to learn from your mistakes.
