If you always 'fit in', you will never 'stand out'!
I tried to be normal once. Worst two minutes of my life!
I signed up for the Dale Carnegie Public Speaking Seminar. I knew this
meant I would have to speak in public. I was terrified!
But I knew unless I conquered my fear, I'd be stuck!
Somebody who was just as scared as I told me “fear” is an acronym for
False Evidence Appearing Real.
Like Aristotle said:
There is only one way to avoid criticism in life. Do nothing and say nothing.
To be successful, you must overcome fear of criticism!
I always say:
When people stop criticizing you, they probably have just given up on you.
People will stare. Make it worth their while!
