"You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there."

Yes, unfortunately for you the reader, another final is coming up.  Knife skills, 100+ questions of written testing, and a "Market Basket" cooking test.  So, I find myself searching for hope and encouragement that I can conquer and overcome my fear.
It seems silly to fear knife skills tests and market basket challenges...  I have cut up a chicken before - many times... I cook dinner frequently based on what is in the refrigerator or pantry.  My fear stems from a few things:  1. Fine dining chef's will be critiquing my plate on presentation, taste and technique.  2.  I will need to incorporate into my offering the things I have learned over the past few weeks so that the chef recognizes that I have learned what he was teaching.  3.  I have choked on knife skills in the past.  4.  The written tests are hard even if you have extensive notes.  Now that I have stated my fears, I shall let them go and ride on the wind. 
From today on I will strategize and study, plan and practice.  I will have confidence in what I have learned and my ability to regroup from kitchen catastrophes'.  I will think on the good and positive.  As it says in Phillipians:  "Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse."
Can someone remind me I said this please!
