No Comments 12 October 2009

Imagine this: you were back into your childhood 15 years ago (or whatever years it'll take), you broke a very expensive wine glass of your father. The fear of getting punished by your dad just overwhelmed you to the extent that you were looking down when you walked and talked, twiddling your thumbs on your way to tell your mom (I'm sure you'd tell your mom first!). That fear, that fear of being scolded and caned just dominated your whole little brain (maybe not for the American readers, but I did get caned by my mom and teachers when I was young).

According to many professional counselors such as Shannon Stephens from the Augusta State University, the No.1 fear in the United States is public speaking (death is probably No. 2). Yeah, public speaking - the opportunity to get embarrassed and make a fool out of yourself by standing in front of an audience and talk. But, it's also the opportunity to share with the world your ideas and dreams, the chance to get recognized by others for you efforts and knowledge. So, how do you conquer the fear of public speaking?

5 Steps to Building Confidence in Yourself!

2 Comments 04 October 2009

I recently reread this book by Dr. David Schwartz called the "The Magic of Thinking Big", and found this 5-step method to building confidence. I thought I should share it with you guys over here. This book changed my mindset about life 5 years ago and now it's still helping me to grow and learn, a true reading gem. I didn't think that I'd be who I am today if I didn't get enlightened by this book when I finished high school in year 2003.
