If you are timid, if you suffer from shyness, just affirm that you will never again be afraid of anybody or anything, that you are going to hold your head up; assert your manhood or womanhood. Resolve that you will strengthen this weak link in your character.

Assuming an indifferent air often helps diffident, shy people. Just say to yourself: — "Other people are too busy to bother about me or to look at me and watch me, and, even if they do, it makes no difference to me. I am going to live in my own way."

If one is inclined to be retiring, shrinking, shy, the constant affirmation of the "I am" philosophy, the continual assertion, "I am a man made to do things, and I am going to do them," — a little daily practice in cultivating courage and self-confidence, aggressiveness in pushing oneself into responsibility, will do wonders in building up, from a timid one, a bold, strong character.

If your parents and teachers tell you that you are dull and stupid, just deny it vigorously every time the suggestion comes to you. Constantly affirm that you are not stupid, that you have ability and that you are going to show the people who have disapproved of you that you can do what others do.
