,,It’s crucial that we stop fearing change, stop fearing new things. For man –in a sense- the comfort zone is the biggest enemy. We have to find ways to put away this feeling of safety and glance into the unknown. Ask that lecturer questions, start a chat with that rival contestant, go to that summer camp! These small steps lead to enormous changes: new connections, friendships might form, you get more knowledge. But what’s the most important, you’ll become something more, than you were beforehand.”
