When your opponent fears you, then's the moment when you give the fear its own rein, give it the time to work on him. let it become terror. the terrified man fights himself. eventually, he attacks in desperation. that is the most dangerous moment, but the terrified man can be trusted usually to make a fatal mistake. you are being trained here to detect these mistakes and use them.

More From Frank Herbert

Be proud of your mistakes. well, proud may not be exactly the right word, but respect them, treasure them, be kind to them, learn from them. and, more than that, and more important than that, make them. make mistakes. make great mistakes, make wonderful mistakes, make glorious mistakes. better to make a hundred mistakes than to stare at a blank piece of paper too scared to do anything wrong.
Mistake Important Be Kind
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
I think my deepest criticism of the educational system . . . is that it's all based upon a distrust of the student. don't trust him to follow his own leads; guide him; tell him what to do; tell him what he should think; tell him what he should learn. consequently at the very age when he should be developing adult characteristics of choice and decision making, when he should be trusted on some of those things, trusted to make mistakes and to learn from those mistakes, he is, instead, regimented and shoved into a curriculum, whether it fits him or not.
Mistake Educational Thinking
It is not a mistake to commit a mistake, for no one commits a mistake knowing it to be one. but it is a mistake not to correct the mistake after knowing it to be one. if you are afraid of committing a mistake, you are afraid of doing anything at all. you will correct your mistakes whenever you find them.
Mistake Knowing Atheism
Fear comes from uncertainty; we can eliminate the fear within us when we know ourselves better. as the great sun tzu said: “when you know yourself and your opponent, you will win every time. when you know yourself but not your opponent, you will win one and lose one. however, when you do not know yourself or your opponent, you will be imperiled every time.
