Virgin Look at Fear

[Guest guest]

I have finally gotten down to write about my bungee jumping experience

<http://travelingnetwork.blogspot.com/2008/04/extreme-bungee-jumping-adv\

entures.html> in Phuket last year recently. Some of my friends asked me

if I were scared. Frankly speaking, if `wetting' pant is a social norm,

I would have wetted my pant. So why did I do it if I was scared? I guess

the need (yes, I had been thinking about bungee jumping for many years

and had reflected to friends about my desire) to experience the feeling

of jumping from a platform, the feeling of that split second fall, the

thrill and excitement all added up and conquered my fear of going for

the jump. When I was up there standing at the edge of the jumping

platform, I did not think too much, I just hurled myself out and away

from the platform as instructed.

Fear was not able to stop me that day, as it sometimes did. Most of us,

if not all, have some kind of fears. A lot of my friends have fear of

height. Some people have fear of drowning. Fear occurs in different

forms and varies in different degree to different people.

 

I believe that most of us have heard of Richard Branson and his

adventures. In case if you haven't, Richard Branson (pardon me it's Sir

Richard Branson) is the man behind the Virgin. I only got to know more

about him recently when I read two of his books, `Losing my Virginity'

and `Screw it, Let's Do It.'
