My name is Uzo, and there are so many things I would have done in life if not for the fear of failure. In most cases, given the circumstances surrounding me at the time, failure seemed almost certain. As a rational person, I would certainly not have embarked on those ventures. On the other hand, there is never a situation where success is completely guaranteed.
But what if that were ever the case? A world with a 100% success rate. Such a world would undoubtedly be overwhelming, so overwhelming that one would eventually not know which way to go. It would probably become a hyper-chaotic world. I certainly do not wish for such a world; however, if I were given the opportunity to choose one thing that would end up completely successful for me, with no risk of failure, I would choose business.
Imagine a businessman who has never failed in his entire life. Is that even possible? 😀 In as much as I have chosen a career in tech, the desire to become a successful entrepreneur is still there. What if it then became the case that success was 100% guaranteed? I would undoubtedly be the happiest person on earth, given that my dreams would entirely come true.On the other hand, whether or not success is guaranteed, I will certainly still pursue becoming an entrepreneur someday. I pray I eventually get past fear.
In all of Igwuruta, Port Harcourt, my father was the biggest electrical insulation material seller. He was so successful that his shop was considered a one-stop shop for anything related to electrical materials. But then, even my father failed. I am yet to get the full gist of what really happened, but my father's business failed.
My profession was inspired by my father's business, and I certainly dream of growing beyond a mere engineer someday. I dream of owning a business of my own, to achieve what my father never did. I have a dream far greater than what I saw my father achieve; however, the awareness of the fact that he failed has never stopped being my greatest fear. How I wish the possibility of failing would be completely taken away just for this very dream of mine.
There are no doubt so many things I would love to achieve if the possibility of failure were completely taken away, but this is the most important one for me. As far as I can remember, it is the one dream of mine that triggers fear the most in me. Yet, I have not and will not give up. It is probably the case that I fear too much to realise that I should give it a try to see what comes out of it. After all, our entire existence is full of risks.
