While many say that people fear failure the most, I have to say that people most fear consequences. Failure is a consequence, so I support that claim, but I'm broadening it.
People most fear the consequences of their actions. Everything we, as people, do has a result, be it good or bad, we fear the bad result. We fear the repercussions. I hate to say that every bad result that transpires is our fault, because it isn't, but the result always has something to do with what we did. And people don't like to take blame, it acknowledges their faults and, generally, that's not something to go around advertising.
Addressing Nick's statement that people tend to hesitate, I believe that people tend to hold back and refrain from doing some of the things they really want to do, because they are afraid that the result won't be the one they imagined. An unexpected situation is not as welcome as one pre-planned or anticipated. Ultimately, they fear unfavorable outcome, the one that feeds on the rest of their fears and doubts.
