There are two kinds of fearlessness: one that comes from ignorance, one that comes from rational calculation of (feared) risk and (desired) reward.
Paraphrasing the author: understand your fears (the risks), but do not let them stop you.

- analyst74 14y agoOn a second thought, however, this line of thinking overlooked a major problem in real life -- that most of the fear comes from unknown. By acknowledging that you do not know enough about a problem, the natural next step is to do more research, which causes you to, well, research more and do less. On the other hand, a lot of successful entrepreneurs just embrace their ignorance and go for it, they end up failing or succeeding much more quickly.
