... In my experience, many people, and especially many men, are ashamed of their fears. They see them as disgraceful and a sign of weakness.  I disagree. As humans, we are subject to death, disease, disappointment, loss, heartbreak, natural disaster and human­made disaster, among many other afflictions. Fear  ... promotes a very narrow, and very dysfunctional, view of success: namely, that if you’ve got a lot of money, you’re a success, and if you don’t, you’re a failure. Capitalism doesn’t care what ethical lapses, if any, someone may have committed to make their fortune; nor does it make any allowances for inequities or misfortunes that may have limited  ... A few years ago, during the high tech boom of the late 1990s, I started a high tech business into which, over three years, I sank every penny I had saved. This represented an enormous financial hit for my family. But the business never took off and, looking back, I can see that it never took off because of mistakes that I made Was the business a failure? At the time it certainly felt that way. When the money ran out and I had to take a  Trang 21But guess what: I don’t see it as a failure any more...
