You'll always fear, but you can, what you can really powerfully do is adapt your reactions to it.
If you don't, like my father, feel fear, boom, react, boom, knock him out or whatever.
No, that's not what my dad did, but kind of.
But actually take a moment, think about what you're feeling and react much more appropriately.
That will have a snowball effect.
You can adapt your reactions to things by learning, by understanding.
That's huge for life.
In racing, where I took a step back and thought about it before reacting impulsively.

That most of the difficult things happen on track and you come out the car and you do not have that moment to think about things because they, you guys, shoved a microphone in my face right after I got out of the car.
I didn't have time to speak to anybody that I trusted about anything.
Microphone straight in my face and I cannot say to you, no comment.
I need to think about it.
You can't say that.
You need to engage.
