There is nothing that gets in the way of success more than avoidance. We avoid hard conversations. We avoid certain people. We avoid hard decisions. We avoid evidence that contradicts what we think. We avoid starting a project until we're certain of the outcome. ... Sometimes we muster half the courage. And here’s the interesting thing. Half-efforts tend to make things worse, not better.

The application code does not invoke the functions itself, but the runtime environment - the browser, invokes the function at an appropriate time, when the event has occurred
Callbacks, sounds pretty useful. It's sounds like a pub sub mechanism, where the environment calls function in response to a trigger, instead of the function polling for a state change.
