There are countless entrepreneurs who have inspired me with the successes they were achieving in their lives, whether that success allowed them to send their children to school, to provide more nutritious food for the families, purchase medicine or mosquito nets</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.goodmagazine.com/section/Features/good_qa_jessica_flannery"><STRONG>What are your fears and how do you combat them?</STRONG>
<BR />In terms of what scares me most out in the world, I feel afraid and deeply saddened when I see people who don’t believe that they matter, or that they can cause change in the world.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.goodmagazine.com/section/Features/good_qa_jessica_flannery">For Kiva and for myself, I try hard not to let fear ever drive my decision-making. If we’ve ever made mistakes in the past with Kiva, or come close to it, it has been because of fear, and we’ve learned not to do this anymore. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.goodmagazine.com/section/Features/good_qa_jessica_flannery">I find great peace and clarity when I remind myself of the things I can control and the things I cannot, and then surrender the latter.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F366BB15-625B-42EE-80B6-10C0A32B17EA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
