write an essay agreeing or disagreeing with Mr. Will Smith's stance on fear being a "product of our imagination causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist."

You begin to manage your anxiety by contacting the opponent. For myself really, one of mine biggest concerns was height. I was afraid to get to the lifts or to move on the top floor because I would see the glass.

When my brothers joined the Boy Scouts, I got interested as a chief. Shortly after, the soldiers went on even a rock-climbing trip mostly on turnbuckle. To claim that I was terrified at 10 feet was an exaggeration, and I actually froze and shut up at 20 feet. My belayer spoke to me, and told mw that I always stay there until midnight, if possible, but that I would come down from my own.

After around ten minutes, I refused to come down. Then he instructed me to lie down and showed me how to do that. I followed his movements as he walked. He spoke to me about going up again when he was done. This period, even though it wasn't pleasant, I got to the edge, 35-feet then drop back once. I had been on the stone three more times until the party left, causing me to glance down every time.

If you conquer one doubt, the world will never be the same again for you! The benefits of my stone-climb experience are my beam-focus capabilities. While I'm on wall, my concentration is complete, and even years ago, I can recognize the colours including its hand rails! My posture is much stronger than it once was, and my motions are much smoother and easier.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
