Most people are paralyzed by fear.But elite performers aren't.Here's how to overcome your fear like the best in the world:

How To Overcome Fear Like A Pro 

• Every successful person feels fearStart by realizing everyone faces fear.It may seem like some are “fearless.”They’ve just learned to move through it.No successful person is immune from fear.And nothing great is possible without it.Remember this.

Everybody Feels Fear 

Most fear exists in the future.You worry, and it gets worse.The solution: stay present.Be where your feet are.Focus on what you see.Stop worrying and act.The fear will fade.

Fear fades in the present

On the surface, fear looks daunting.Crack the facade + you see its shallowness. Reality is rarely worse than our imagination.Our minds build up obstacles + enemies.Fear wants us to feel overwhelmed.See it for the illusion it is.

Fear is a facade

There’s a popular acronym: F.E.A.R.False Evidence Appearing Real.Our mind and emotions trick us.They make us think feelings = truth.Logic is the remedy. Ask:What are the facts?What’s the worst case?Calm, rational logic defeats fear.

Face fear with logic

The SEALs have a saying: “full benefit.”Things that suck make you better.Hiking + it pours rain? Full benefit.Writing + lose a draft? Full benefit.Driving + tire goes flat? Full benefit.Fear provides the same opportunity.Welcome it.

Fear provides full benefit

Fear is often rooted in what others think.We use that as an excuse not to do.But every great triumph carried risk.Every one had people casting doubt.Where would we be if the greats let this stop them?Release your fear of judgment.

Let go of opinions

Feeling scared is out of your control.Living in a state of fear is fully within it.Temporary scares come and go in life.But don’t accept fear as a way of life.You have the power to choose:Will I move forward through this?

Being afraid is a choice

All growth is a leap into the unknown.No one can tell you how to do it.No one can tell you if it will work.If they could, it wouldn’t be scary.If it wasn’t scary, everyone would do it.Fear is an opportunity.Embrace the growth within it.

Fear is growth disguised

If you’re not willing to leap, you’ll never do anything worthwhile in life.Fear is the great separator. You remember those who faced it.You’ve never heard of those who didn’t.

Anything worth doing is scary

Most people see fear as a red light.They stop and wait until it’s safe.Reframe your mind to see green.The fear you feel is a signal.You’re doing something meaningful.GO.

Fear is a green light

Preparation defeats fear.Visual it, feel it, anticipate it, explore it.The vagueness of fear is what’s scary.When we prepare, its power crumbles.Fear is a thief in the night.Run from it, and it’s emboldened.Anticipate it, and its grip loosens.

Anticipate fear

Facing fear is a muscle like anything else.The more we do it, the easier it becomes.Don’t wait for fear to come. Go find it.Accept this will be hard. Do it anyway.Hard things deter cowards and strengthen the courageous.This is how you train for life.

Do hard things

By now you’ve probably heard about Stack Overflow’s commitment to making remote work, well… work. If not, you can read about it <a href="https://stackoverflow.blog/2013/02/01/why-we-still-believe-in-working-remotely/">here </a>, <a href="https://stackoverflow.blog/2017/04/14/cant-afford-private-offices/">here </a>, and a whole page of links <a href="https://stackoverflow.blog/tags/remote-work/">here </a>. Seriously, we care about it a LOT. At Stack Overflow we want to hire the best person for the job, even if that person is in Salt Lake City, Utah; Berlin, Germany; or São Paulo, Brazil. Promoting remote work promotes diversity, and we are committed to improving both.

The logistics of Stack Overflow’s remote-first philosophy

This is definitely the most important piece of the remote puzzle. You need a person whose stated job is to make sure that remote employees have a specific person for questions, concerns, and problems. When we <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/jobs/remote-developer-jobs?utm_source=so-owned&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=dev-c4al&utm_content=c4al-link">hire a new remote employee </a>, I tell them that they can come to me with any type of question, and I will try my best to answer it, or at least point them in the right direction. I get aaaaaall kinds of questions and requests. For instance, I now know how to buy and ship Belgian beer to Poland for an employee that wasn’t able to attend a work event because of a surgery. Also FYI, Uruguay has very strict restrictions on voltage of household items, so getting a crank-lever standing desk to Montevideo was fun (read: not fun). There also needs to be someone on the executive team (it’s better if there is more than one someone) consistently asking “What about the remotes?” When you have a new “x,” the execs should be thinking about how that impacts all employees, including remotes.

Have a dedicated remote person (like me!) to be the point person for remote needs.

Companies will encounter a wide range of odd legalities in dealing with remote employees, especially with international folks.It definitely helps to have an HR department that is certified in immigration and visa issues. The same goes for finance departments. The taxation alone is a handful with multiple states/countries. You need an entity for each state, which requires considerable forethought. You also have to file payrolls properly and that varies depending on location.

Have your People and Finance Teams homed in on remote needs

We’ve already touched on this in the other blog posts, but it bears repeating: If one person in the meeting is remote, we’re all remote. If there are 5 people in a conference room and 2 people dialing in remotely, it is very easy for the folks in the meeting room to forget about the people dialed in. You can eliminate that problem by having everyone call in, if possible. Currently in the Stack Overflow NYC office it is really common to walk around and see two people on a hangout even though their offices are next to each other!

Remote first

We have regular “Bev Bashes” and holiday parties in the offices, but what about the remotes? How do you give them fun stuff even though they are scattered all over the world? For starters, we have “Remote Bev Bashes” over <a href="https://www.zoom.us/?zcid=1173&gclid=CKXQhYvundYCFYtLDQodtcICtQ">Zoom </a>every Friday. The “Bev Baron” for that week (nominated by the last Bev Baron) schedules a Zoom call and sets a theme. Employees grab a beverage of their choice and just chat. You can stay for just a few minutes to say hi, or you can be a part of the entire thing.

Try to recreate office fun stuff in a remote capacity

Once a year, we bring all of our remote employees together for a week for some much needed face-time. It’s a different city each time, and there are usually 3 days of Executive Keynotes, Tiny Talks, and many many games of Werewolf. We talk about the state of the company and new projects and teams, but we vow not to make any huge decisions or business altering plans. The focus is on camaraderie, not profits. We look forward to it all year, and it’s definitely a blast.

Bring them all together

When a new remote employee is hired, I contact them for their furniture choices. They get their choice of the exact same desks and chairs that we have in the offices, free of charge. We want them to be as comfortable as possible, and that means if they want to stand instead of sit, no problem. Our IT dept sets them up with all of their tech, and I set them up with everything else. Need a filing cabinet? Cool. You want a different type of desk that is bright pink and sings? Hey, it’s your house. We re-create the in-office set-ups as much as possible so that our remote employees never feel less valued than everyone else.

Make their home workspaces as awesome as the offices

HowTo

Making Remote Work: Behind the Scenes at Stack Overflow

The author highlights the significance of revision and resubmission for a researcher. Additionally, once you receive a rejection or RandR, revise it to address the comments. Because you won’t be able to begin again once the ball stops rolling. According to the author, working with motivated peers accelerated my learning and work pace.

Don't Stop

The author advises always keeping three or four papers in the loop. Some papers are being reviewed, some are in RandR, and some are being worked on by you. This is important since you like the process of conducting new research. Journal comments provide you with useful learning opportunities.

Papers In Loop

There are numerous ways to identify research opportunities. But according to the author, pimarily it is the idiosyncratic knowledge that researchers hold. The strength of the available resources is what shapes the study idea. Recombination’s, pro-social and intrinsic motivation, research self-efficacy, and experimentation are all tools that researchers can utilize to create new research opportunities. New theories, new approaches, and novel combinations that close significant gaps in our knowledge of the entrepreneurial phenomena can be used to provide such opportunities.

Research Opportunities 

Another useful strategy for locating research opportunities is bricolage. According to the author, he went two days without internet access, but during that time he was able to go through his files and find old papers that he integrated to create a new research that is currently in the RandR phase.

Bricolage

Small victories can now be used to increase self-worth. Self-efficacy has been demonstrated to be an excellent technique for improving research. According to the author, publishing with a B encourages you to publish in A, where 92% of manuscripts are outright refused. Small victories at conferences, like publishing a paper, can increase self-efficacy. A further crucial step is to use various methods to look for publications.

Small Victories

Rejection has a very negative connotation, and receiving a rejection letter makes us feel awful. But according to the author, every rejection comes with a few criticisms or comments that can help you improve your performance. After going through a RandR, you must revise your paper, address any concerns, and resubmit it.

Revision To Resubmission

An effective technique to make a paper publishable is by working with seniors. Giving credit to this senior faculty member after your 300 hours and your coauthors’ 5 hours may seem challenging, but most of the time it is their remarks that make it acceptable to a journal. Such factors contribute to research confidence.

Quotes

If you cling to life, you'll lose it. If you're ready to lose life, you'll gain it. A bit christiany, wouldn't you say? :))A capacity for freedom is a natural feature.  However, the concept of freedom changes through times. Human thought is responsive to actual reality. So history  can be seen as the development of ideas about freedom.History is the progress and consciousness for freedom.I'm free because I can act on my desires. Or better yet, I'm free because I give up on them. It becomes a freedom of the pure self. But it becomes too abstract and you cant commit to any activity.

What is Hegel's freedom?

You need a middle ground mediated by society, so that you reflect your desires in society. Hegel looks at each civilization and the concept of freedom that it embodies.The Reformation seen as  inner spiritual freedom, inner fate, not through external authority.state-individualThere's a codependent relation between state and individual. Most of our desires are the result of the world we live in (We don't 'need' Pepsi, but you learn to need it.)I can't craft my own identity without the others around me. A metaphisycally bankrupt idea.

No history without society

Original history - is done by the person at the time happening. The likes of Herodotus and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thucydides">Thucydides</a>.Reflective history - is like a narrative of the past from the present which also want to draw a moral lesson from it.Philosophical history - there is more to history than dates and sad stories of war. There's progress. Hegel wants to see progress.The end of history - is about a conceptual closure (regressive move, going backwards, dystopian world, Handmaiden tale vibes).
