The book Major in Success by Patrick Combs doesn’t teach the readers how to get excellent scores or how to participate in class, it basically focuses on advising the readers, specifically university freshmen and sophomores to obtain a successful life by selecting a declared major that fits their interest, career path and ambition.

My biggest fear is the fear of what other people expect because I found that I am not that great and I need more but I could not find the right way to do so. I also have fear of watching other people success. It doesn’t mean I am mean but because I feel like I am so small and underrated myself when I see others talking about how meaningful and successful their life is. I was totally touched by the quote from Marcus Allen “Death will kill you once, but fear kills you over and over, if you let it.” If you escape from fear, fear will still exist and it follows you no matter what. He describes five ways to deal with those fears. Five prescriptions for fear are (1) feel the fear and do it anyway (2) Get support from friends who believe in you (3) Remember, you are equipped to handle anything that comes your way (4) Know that F.E.A.R is a false expectation about risk (5) Replace your fear with faith. Those are good advice and I particularly like the first one. You never know what will happen next unless you try it over and over in regardless of how many times and how much time you
