Subject:Re: Re: Seeking counsel - yet another difficult work situation (very long!) From:Susan W. Gallagher <sgallagher5 -at- cox -dot- net> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Tue, 21 Dec 2004 17:20:04 -0500
Some people are shy and timid by nature but they do not let
their tendency toward shyness rule their lives or get in the
way of what they need to accomplish. Shyness is a personality
trait that can be worked on and virtually eliminated given
time and effort.
How do I know? Because I was a white-knuckle case all the way
through high school and college. I could not stand up in
front of class to give a report or even write something on the
board without shaking and coming nearly to tears. It wasn't
until I was offered a job as a software trainer that it
became important to me to eliminate shyness from my inventory
of personality traits, and if you've ever seen me speak at a
conference, you'll know how well I succeeded.
Don't use shyness as an excuse. Get out there and get the job
done.
My two cents.
