1. Honesty is the best policy . Have you ever heard about the saying, perhaps the most popular in English language? It was perhaps the favorite motto of America’s first president. The wisdom is at least 2, 500 years old. It first appeared as the moral of Aesop’s fable, a story about two woodcutters — one honest, the other dishonest. The fable was a favorite with both Greek and Roman children. Any child can easily grasp its timeless moral. Here is the story.
One day a poor man was cutting a big piece of wood near a river. Suddenly his old axe fell into the water. 2. 唯一的斧头丢了，他很忧伤 。 Then all at once a beautiful fairy came out and asked the man what was the matter.
“I have lost my axe,” he said, “3. 我砍柴时弄掉到水里了。 ”
The fairy showed him a gold axe and asked, “Is this yours?”
“No,” said the man.
4. The fairy then showed him a silver axe and asked again . “Is this yours?” “No,” again answered the man.
Then she showed him the old axe.
5. “ Yes, that is mine,” called out the happy man .
“I know that well enough,” said the fairy. “I only wanted to see if you would tell me the truth, and now I’ll give you the gold axe and the silver axe besides your own one.”

It’s always challenging to face fear. Here are some ways to help you overcome（克服）it.
Breathing
As we know, breathing can help us relax. If you purposely breathe out longer than you breathe in, your body will calm down. If you start to feel fearful, try this. Take a breath in (to a count of 7 in your mind), and then slowly breathe out (to a count of 11 in your mind). To your surprise, if you do this for a minute or so, you’ll calm down quickly. We call this "7/11 breathing".
Using a different part of your brain
When we feel fearful, it’s harder to think clearly. But if we force ourselves to use the part of thinking brain, this will help to calm us down. The easiest way to do this is with numbers. You can set your own fear from l to 10, 10 being the worst state and 1 being the most relaxed state. When you’re feeling fearful, ask yourself; “Okay, what grade do I get right now? 7 or 5?” Just doing this will reduce fear because it starts the thinking brain. Once I gave a speech to three hundred people and I felt fearful. So I graded myself at 6, and waited for myself to go down to 3 before starting. I took control.
Getting control of your imagination
Imagine seeing yourself in the situation you were scared, but see yourself being calm and things going well. Doing this starts to recondition your mind to more calmly face the coming events which were causing fear.
It seems that overcoming fear is always the first step to finish all you need to do and it will help you devote yourself to what you really want to be and to do. It takes efforts, but it’s worth your try.
