FUD

Fear Uncertainty and Doubt

It is my experience that this well known acronym is in fact wrong and should be DUF, Doubt, Uncertainty and Fear.

Fear is that corrosive component in our thinking that forms the basis of far too many decisions while Doubts and Uncertainty just happens to be part of the fuel that drives Fear.

Not only can fear result in paralysis of action, it can be even more destructive as it often restrains honest communications.

Banish fear from your life, the worst thing that can happen is that you could make the odd mistake, but that is preferable to inaction.
