Oh, Pooh!

It was a silly little thing. That said, it is a decent description of me. I believe there is a difference between fear, and being scared. If you think I'm about to let fear run my life, than you really don't know me all that well.

Which Winnie-the-Pooh character am I?
Everybody could learn a very valuable lesson from Piglet, because even though he is small he always overcomes his fears and tries his best to be brave. Even when the odds are small you conquer the bigger challenges because you are steadfast in your courage and virtue.

A few quotes I like:
"There can be no courage unless you're scared." Eddie Rickenbaker (WWI fighter ace)

"It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, 'Always do what you are afraid to do.'" Ralph Waldo Emerson

"A man who is never scared is stupid. But a man who is afraid is a fool. We only fear the unknown but being scared heightens the senses." my Uncle Bill
