I'm Not A Wealthy Person And I

In My Experience, Fear Comes From Not Knowing What To Expect And Not Feeling You Have Any Control Over What’s About To Happen. When You Feel Helpless, You’re Far More Afraid Than You Would Be If You Knew The Facts.

Still, I Also Know That Most People, Including Me, Tend To Applaud The Wrong Things: The Showy, Dramatic Record-setting Sprint Rather Than The Years Of Dogged Preparation Or The Unwavering Grace Displayed During A String Of Losses. Applause, Then, Never Bore Much Relation To The Reality Of My Life As An Astronaut, Which Was Not All About, Or Even Mostly About, Flying Around In Space.

Almost Everything Worthwhile Carries With It Some Sort Of Risk, Whether It's Starting A New Business, Whether It's Leaving Home, Whether It's Getting Married, Or Whether It's Flying In Space.

In All Of The Movie Portrayals, A Spacewalking Suit Seems Sort Of Insignificant, Like A Pair Of Shorts And A T-shirt. No One Thinks Much About It. But It's A Spaceship, Not A Spacesuit, An Entire Life-support Mechanism That's Incredibly Complex And Cumbersome. It's Very Difficult To Put On And Off. You Have To Run It The Whole Time You Are Wearing It, And It Redefines How You Move. It's Like If You Put On A Wetsuit And A Snowmobile Suit And Froze Yourself Solid And Then Tried To Go And Do Work.

Decide In Your Heart Of Hearts What Really Excites And Challenges You, And Start Moving Your Life In That Direction. Every Decision You Make, From What You Eat To What You Do With Your Time Tonight, Turns You Into Who You Are Tomorrow, And The Day After That. Look At Who You Want To Be, And Start Sculpting Yourself Into That Person. You May Not Get Exactly Where You Thought You'd Be, But You Will Be Doing Things That Suit You In A Profession You Believe In. Don't Let Life Randomly Kick You Into The Adult You Don't Want To Become.
