WARMING UP
Phobias
• What do you fear from? What are
your phobias?
• Have you ever tried to overcome
fear? How?
• What change did you find in your life
after over coming fear?
SUMMARY
• The story has been taken from the author’s
autobiography- ‘Of Men and Mountains’.
• In this piece he tells about his fear of water and how
he conquered it by determination and will power.
• As a child, when he was a tiny tot (3/4 yr. old), he
would go to the beach in California with his father.
He would get scared by the might of the huge waves
which swept over him and it instilled a fear in his sub
– conscious mind.
• A few years later, in his eagerness to learn
swimming, he joined a swimming pool where an
incident further increased his terror. He was pushed
into the pool by another boy and experienced death
closely.
• Many years after that incident, he stayed away from
water but the desire to go fishing and swimming in
nature was strong enough to motivate him to
overcome his fear.
SUMMARY
He learned swimming with the help of an instructor who
ensured that William knew swimming well enough to be
able to swim in huge lakes and waterfalls also.
Still, when he would swim, the fear from his childhood
experiences, embedded in his sub-conscious mind would
grip him over and over again. He wanted to conquer that
fear.
He faced it sarcastically, thinking that now, as he knew
how to swim, what harm could it do to him. He challenged
his fear in the face of it and finally it would vanish.
It was a baseless fear instilled in his sub-conscious mind.
This experience was valuable for him. He had experienced
terror and death. He overcame it and finally conquered it.
William realized that death is peaceful and it is the fear of
death that is terrorizing. His will to live life grew intensely
as he had overcome his fear and started living fearlessly.
