Theme of the Lesson
This lesson is taken from William Douglas’ autobiographical book “Of Men and Mountains,” which deals with the subject of conquering fear. He talks about how he finally overcame his early phobia of the sea. The incident in the swimming pool where a bully nearly drowned him as a youngster and the boyhood experience of being knocked down by the waves at the California beach contributed to a dread of water that haunted him even as an adult. He ultimately made the decision to face his anxiety because he was unable to enjoy swimming, fishing, or boating like others. His further attempts to get over the fear, demonstrate his guts and willpower. Therefore, the message being sent to us is that one must get above their fear.
