Conversely, all the great improvisers say that when you take a chance, leave fear behind and go with the flow, so to speak; you’ll usually land on your feet. Fear either doesn’t allow you to take a chance, or if you do, it makes you falter. I am not a skier, but I imagine that when Olympic skiers make those huge jumps, they’d better not flinch, or else we might see two upside-down feet with skis on them sticking up out of the snow!
