"Lo que más temo es el miedo."
— Michel de Montaigne

Simplified Meaning:
Being afraid of something can be worse than the thing itself. If you are scared to try something new, like speaking in public or starting a new job, the fear you feel can stop you from ever trying. This can hold you back in life. Imagine a student who is so scared of failing an exam that they don't study at all. Their fear of failing becomes a bigger problem than the exam itself. By facing fears, like studying hard and sitting the exam, you give yourself a chance to succeed. Fear can paralyze you, but overcoming it can open up many opportunities.
