Simplified Meaning:

There are two different kinds of fear. The first kind is useful; it pushes you to face challenges and grow stronger. Imagine a student who is afraid of public speaking but practices and gets better each time. This fear helps them improve and become more confident. The second kind of fear is a warning sign. It keeps you safe by telling you to avoid dangerous situations. Picture someone hiking in the mountains who senses a storm is coming. They turn back to avoid getting caught in dangerous weather. This kind of fear protects them from harm. By recognizing which type of fear you're experiencing, you can decide whether to confront it or to avoid a risky situation. This wisdom can help you make better choices in life.
