Democratic National Convention '08

No, I'm not kidding about Gore and Kerry. There was a drive back then to help them. People were all revved up to help. But was it because it was that people were afraid of the alternative? Most likely. So, yes, in this case it may be different.

But this gut feeling I have about Obama not winning (although he should) was the same gut feeling I had about both Al and John and it was right around the same time of year 4 and 8 years ago. Heck, I want to be proved wrong.

Doesn't worry sometimes help? Fear of failure motivates people to do better. Positivity alone is just positivity.

I've always found fear of failure a terrible motivator. I'm much more interested in focusing on reaching for success than worrying about what happens if you happen to fail.

There's only one way to succeed at anything, and that's to do it. Either you do it and you succeed, or you do it and you fail. What does it matter if there's a possibility of failure? That doesn't change what needs to be done.
