““the question is not whether you are in danger, it’s whether you choose to worry about it. It’s like swimming in the sea where there are sharks. You know they’re there, but your choice is whether you allow your fear of them to stop you from ever going in. Sure, you take precautions, and you don’t swim when there’s a sighting, but you also don’t let it stop you from reaching your goal, or the shore on the other side.””
