It sounds strange, to say the least! It is obvious how one can fear failure. But success?

And in general, bragging is bad.<\/li><li>You avoid important projects, where you are visible and success will be assigned to you, not to the team.<\/li><li>You procrastinate a lot, to the point that your plans may get derailed.<\/li><li>You give up too easily, at the first sign of difficulties.<\/li><li>You have a vague feeling that you are not worthy of success.

You will cry later!\u201d (Meaning that you need to pay for your happiness).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA lot of success \u2013 a lot of responsibility\u201d (Meaning that you can\u2019t pull it off).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStay on your own side of the fence\u201d (Meaning that this is not for you).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou must be humble, otherwise you will grow up to be self-centered!\u201d (Meaning \u201cdo not stick out, keep a low profile\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you live according to such rules, any success brings a lot of risks. So, it seems like it is better\u2026 not to achieve it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what can you do if you found this \u201cemergency brake\u201d in the form of fear of success? You need to investigate it!
