Quote of the day by Christopher Walken — “Being afraid is fine. But go up anyway.” The saying by Christopher Walken focuses on fear, action, courage and personal growth. It does not suggest that people must remove fear before taking a step. Instead, it presents fear as an emotion that can exist while a person continues to act. The message can apply to many situations. A person may feel nervous before starting a new job, speaking in front of others, attending an important meeting or making a difficult phone call. Fear may remain present, but it does not have to decide what happens next.
