Be Afraid!

Anna Weiler is interviewed, and asked for advice to young women who want to go into the performing arts.

Her first 3 points apply more broadly, across genders, across fields of endeavor:

1. Ask yourself, “What do I really, really want?” Then whatever your answer is, commit to it 100%!

2. Protect your individuality. Do not let anyone change who you are.

3. Keep trying even when you are afraid. Be afraid! Then you can enjoy conquering it.

Courage does not consist
in never feeling fear.

Be afraid, but then resist,
and learn to persevere.
