Take stock of your fears now and see how many of them are senseless. If you are honest with yourself you will probably find most of them are groundless.

Personally I am very fond of strawberries and cream, but I have found that for some strange reason, fish prefer worms. So when I went fishing, I didn’t think about what I wanted.

Why not use the same common sense when fishing for people?
