I think fear is what keeps us from going over the edge. i mean, as a race car driver, i don't think what makes a good race car driver is a fearless person. i think it's somebody that is comfortable being behind the wheel of something that's somewhat out of control.

More From Jeff Gordon

We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.
War Thinking Past
Fear keeps us rooted in the past. fear of the unknown, fear of abandonment, fear of rejection, fear of not having enough, fear of not being enough, fear of the future-all these fears and more keep us trapped, repeating the same old patterns and making the same choices over and over again. fear prevents us from moving outside the comfort-or even the familiar discomfort-of what we know. it's nearly impossible to achieve our highest vision for our lives as long as we are being guided by our fears.
Fear Moving Past
Fear is at the root of so many of the barriers that women face. fear of not being liked. fear of making the wrong choice. fear of drawing negative attention. fear of overreaching. fear of being judged. fear of failure. and the holy trinity of fear: the fear of being a bad mother/wife/daughter.

It is said that the fear of public speaking is a fear greater than death for most people. according to psychiatrists, the fear of public speaking is caused by the fear of ostracism, the fear of standing out, the fear of criticism, the fear of ridicule, the fear of being an outcast. the fear of being different prevents most people from seeking new ways to solve their problems.

An engineer can look at the data, but he needs a translator from the cockpit - the driver - to understand it completely. for example, only the driver can tell you why he abruptly takes his foot off the gas pedal at a certain point. the data doesn't necessarily tell the engineer whether the driver made a mistake at that point or the car was acting up. the information the driver provides often helps determine the direction of development.

You know, the next time you're guilty of anything, the next time you're charged with anything, try saying, "hey, hey, hey, i didn't mean to run the stop sign." or, "i didn't mean to leave the bar and get behind the wheel. i really didn't. i didn't mean to get behind the wheel after having some adult beverages." see if that works for you. and if you're saying it's not the same thing, yes, it is.

Our country, our economy - don't doubt me on this - our economy is based on capitalism. barack obama's stated reason for being inspired by reverend wright was his speech, 'white man's greed runs a world in need.' that inspired obama, 'white man's greed runs a world in need.' that's the real american dream. working hard you will get ahead. but you can't have that if you want to create a permanent underclass. you simply cannot have people getting ahead. it destroys the whole notion of a permanent underclass.

I've been fortunate daytona is a place i've run better than anywhere else, and that's a big race. maybe it has to do with attention and pressure and the drive to do well when a lot of people are watching.
