Fear of Failure: How to Overcome that?

It’s not that you are unable to cope with the new technologies or new skills, it’s about the fear that you might lose everything if you failed to perform as good if not better than your previous record. I think everyone should have this kind of fear when they are offered to be promoted into a new department with some unfamiliar responsibilities. We would be happy to avoid failure rather to encounter one and learn from it.

In my opinion, most people think that they are unable to do something is just because that they have never done it before and not because that they can’t do it previously. Having too few information can contribute to that kind of fear as well.

What can you guys suggest to those who are having these kind of fear in the career right now?
