In the video Tim Ferriss asks if defining your fears could be more important than defining your goals. I find Tim Ferriss fascinating and just got his book (the 4-Hour Workweek). I will provide a full review when I get done reading it. People think he is full of himself but I just see him as confident.

- “Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action”- Benjamin Disraeli
- “All courses of action are risky, so prudence is not in avoiding danger (it’s possible), but calculating risk and acting decisively. Make mistakes of ambition and not mistakes of sloth. Develop the strength to do bold things, not the strength to suffer.”- Niccolo Machiavelli
