“You can’t shut fear out. But you can know it. And you can talk to it and say, 'I'm going to go around you'.”
— Salman Rushdie
Simplified Meaning:
Everyone feels scared sometimes, and you can't completely get rid of fear. But when you understand what makes you scared, you can deal with it better. Imagine you have a big test. You're worried about failing, and it makes you nervous. Instead of letting the fear stop you, recognize it. Think to yourself, "Yes, I'm scared, but I can still study and do my best." By acknowledging your fear and deciding to keep going despite it, you learn to manage fear instead of letting it control you. This approach can help you face different challenges in life without being held back by what you fear.
