You had a query that have ambiguous reference about the potency of the snake venom. Okay, let’s go into the details. The baby snakes venom is more potent drop for drop to the potency of the adult snake. So first we need to know the age or relative size of the snake the venom came from. Next, you need to determine how it is to be administered to the victims. Since I said, “a single drop could kill several humans”, we need to adjust for how are we going to split up the venom, etc. Now since the snake in question has smaller fangs, the venom may need to mechanically applied. I believe I within my general rights to express myself a little ambiguously for that. I also want to keep it interesting.

Next point you raised was the original time it was posted. When you have a good article that has good information then it is well worth a second round. My lists since I have been writing my articles have exploded and most of those people never got the chance to see some of the really good articles I wrote. Also as new entries go onto the blog, my articles become archived and difficult to get to. I have some ideas to remedy that in the future. And of course, some of the people on my list have never visited the blog. I don’t know why they wouldn’t!

Now, with that out of the way,…

Fear is PRIMAL. It is part of the survival reaction. Fear is why we do some things and why we don’t do others. We quite often feel that decisions made on subjects we fear is really no decision at all, like we are hard wired to react a certain way.

There are many other things we classify as fear – fear at varying degrees. These are more in the line of preferences. These are also things we can chose to change if we see a strong enough reason to. Top negotiators know the difference and operate differently when faced even with true gut-wrenching fear.

We all have bumpy roads on our travels. It is what we do about the bumps as to how we finish at the end of the day.

I agree the worst fear of all is fear itself and knowledge can put fear into perspective. But for some (including me sometimes) the fear of extending themselves, the lack of confidence in leaving their comfort zones and the lack of organisational ability to prioritise what they know is required to achieve. The knowledge doesn’t overcome the fear of change.
