What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?
For the first part of the question, “What’s the thing you’re most scared to do?” I am not ashamed to admit it, I have a fear of heights. Even when I am watching a movie, I feel vertigo instantly if the hero is about to fall from the sky. If I am in a controlled environment, I still can do some things like ride in a roller coaster. For this reason, I consider mine is not an extreme case. But anything beyond that is a challenge. Like bungee jumping, or parachuting. There’s something slightly less radical that I still wouldn’t do, and that is the EdgeWalk at the CN Tower.
Just to give you an idea of what I’m talking about, take a look at the video below:
Now, when you ask me, “What would it take to get you to do it?”, this is a purely rhetorical question. There’s nothing in the world that would convince me to do it. You can offer me good money, use coaching techniques, or threaten me with anything. I won’t do it, period. So, I can let you know this in advance. If you hear that I am going to join in it, it was not of my own volition. It is probably a secret plot to get rid of me. Just let the authorities know!
Are you like me and also have a fear of heights? What are the things you are scared to do? Leave those in the comments!
