We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. Maybe some
of our fears are brought on by your own experiences, by what someone has
told you, by what you’ve read in the papers. Some fears are valid, like
walking alone in a bad part of town at two o’clock in the morning. But once
you learn to avoid that situation, you won’t need to live in fear of it.
Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear can
destroy fortunes. Fear can ... 阅读全帖 |

Never Outshine the Master
Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to
please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you
might accomplish the opposite – inspire fear and insecurity. Make your
masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights
of power.

Being timid can be embarassing, although everybody feels timid at least in

most likely you already know how to live with and adapt to it. So why it
