Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you
want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.

The person who gets the farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore.

You are going to survive. And good things are going to start to happen again. And one day you are going to look back and this will not even be such a bad thing
Dale CarnegieActions speak louder than words, and a smile says, ‘I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you.’ That is why dogs make such a hit. They are so glad to see us that they almost jump out of their skins. So, naturally, we are glad to see them.

Apply horse-sense to ridding yourself of self-consciousness and
fear: face an audience as frequently as you can, and you will soon stop shying. You can never attain
freedom from stage-fright by reading a treatise. A book may give
you excellent suggestions on how best to conduct yourself in the
water, but sooner or later you must get wet, perhaps even strangle
and be "half scared to death." There are a great many "wetless"
bathing suits worn at the seashore, but no one ever learns to swim
in them. To plunge is the only way.

It never hurts a fool to appear before an
audience, for his capacity is not a capacity for feeling.

us, you must "not look too good nor talk too wise.
