From Shy to Success

Just for being shy doesn't mean your life is a limit.
Don't think that shyness is a barrier or obstacles blocking your way to success. In fact by being shy, you have that determination to succeed.
Many shy people think that shyness is a hindrance in everything that life has to offer. They're wrong when they think this way. It's like being conquered
before you begin to fight.
A fast failure is a fast road to despair and disapoinment.
Some succesful individuals started from being a shy person to become a super-success in later life. These people does'nt let shyness overcome their
determination to become succesful. They won't allow any damn thing to stop them from achieving their goals.
People who conquer shyness always ended up winners. For them, shyness was no big deal because they knew that shyness is not any disease and can be cured no
matter how you did it.
Those who ended being shy forever are worthless creatures who always think negatively. Their way of thinking was always determined by their own
weaknesses.They let shyness steer their lives because the spirit of determination disappeared by the time they think differently about themselves.
Better speakers began their lives from being poor talkers. They started as a shy and reserved individual. Once they realised that shyness is a difficult
pain to endure, they will find ways and means to end it forever.
Succesful entrepreneurs cannot be succesful if they just allow shyness in meeting people killed their way to success.Their sheer guts and determination
completely eradicate that.
I once knew a friend who was a complete package of shyness. He was so shy as a young boy that he blushed whenever he spoke and couldn't even looked people in
the eye. He stammered and stuttered when he tried to utter something out of his mouth. He became a loner since then.
After a few years, I managed to meet him again. This time at a seminar I was attending. I couldn't believed my eyes when I saw him standing there on stage
speaking without any sign of shyness on him. I was in awe. I still couldn't believe it was him there speaking to hundreds of people with much accolades.
I met him behind the stage and asked him what had he done to become someone different from what I knew before.He just smiled and said"if you say the
same..you stay the same..."
So..that magic words struck me like lightning. It awakened me right there. I realised that what he said was true. I was a slightly shy man at that time. I
began to think that if my once-shy friend can be what he is today, so why shouldn't I then?
I'm a practising entrepreneur now. At least I can speak without hesitancy with my prospects. To be an entrepreneur you have to have that confidence in
speech, otherwise you won't sell anything and you will end up being a shy and worthless entrepreneur sitting at one corner brooding what life is.
It's you who must change. Life won't change you unless you make the changes yourselves. You have to start something. A car won't move if you don't start the
engine.
That's nothing wrong being a shy person but don't ever let shyness create your failure. Do something about it. You can.
