Chapter- The deep water!!!

Dear Student,

The terror of water followed Douglas wherever he went. To get rid of it, he made a strong determination. He decided to overcome his fear through his 'will'. He engaged an instructor who first helped him drive away his fear and then gave him many exercises besides teaching him to exhale and inhale in water. The practice went on for months together during which his fear came back to haunt him, but his desire and firm will made him persist in his efforts. It was only through sheer determination and diligence that Douglas not only countered his terror but also became an expert swimmer. He swam across and back lakes to ensure that his fear of water did not return. He completely lost his fear. Thus, his desire, determination and diligence succeeded in banishing his fear of water.
