How You Can Overcome Anxiety About Public Speaking


In a recent survey the fear of public speaking was rated No. 1, even beating the fear of death! Comedian Jerry Seinfeld quipped, "That means that at a funeral the average person would rather be in the casket than doing the eulogy!" Even the most experienced speaker gets anxious when speaking in public. However, this fear can be controlled and even used to advantage. This article teaches us why people are nervous when speaking in front of a crowd and how you can conquer your fear. Let's look at three areas of concern:

Fear of the Audience

Positive Attitude - A Success Formula

Positive Attitude - what is it? It starts with being content and self-assured with the person that you are. A strong self-image radiates love and spirit and the people who are in your company begin to feel a similar way. Having a positive demeanor is a pivotal feature for realizing success in all aspects of your life. Your disposition destines how you approach your life and is reflected in your occupation, business ventures, sporting efforts and relationships.

Failure Precedes Success!


There is this Chinese Saying that literally translates to "Failure Is The Mother Of Success!". Basically, it means that failure is like a mother who will give birth to success. A more proper way to phrase it will be failure precedes success. Usually, it is use to encourage someone who have just encountered a failure or setback in life. It helps to remind the person that one will definitely need to go through the experience of failures before one can succeed.

Success Through Recognizing Failure


In the U.S. education system the goal is to leave no one behind. As a result a great many graduates have never been allowed to fail. This isn't because they are actually skilled or talented. It is because the system doesn't allow for failure. Without having a chance to fail, these students are deprived of one of the most powerful ways of learning. Without having a chance to fail, students are taught to avoid failure which means they avoid risk. Teaching students to avoid risk teaches them to avoid the very thing that can make them successful later on in life.
