Dare – even in your shy way!
If you are reading this article you probably are one of those persons who turn red up to their ears, loose their breath, remain speechless, have trembling knees etc under certain circumstances? I bet you think it is one of the worse things that can happen to a person. Guess what? Specialists disagree with you!
Let’s talk about shy persons for a minute. They are those people who go to the supermarket and are afraid even to talk with the sales person. They turn red before saying the first words and when they do they never say it load enough, so they have to repeat it. No matter how hard they try, it goes worse every time. The more they strive not to blush, the redder they become.
What about work? – You will probably ask. Well, indeed, shy people have to work as well. But they say shy persons never get bored, as they are always trying to observe the others and improve themselves. That is why it is widely accepted that timid persons know a lot of things about human character in general, although they normally don’t dare to get in contact with many persons. In spite of the fact that during teen age these persons had usually no social life, most of them grew up as great human resources manages or psychologists, precisely because being left outside the group, they could analyze the others better. Also they tend to choose careers that imply a lot of PR work, just because they need to prove themselves they can do it.
But there’s also another great thing about introverted people – they are, just like us all, curious and, since they normally have nobody to ask, they start reading books or research on the internet. How many good-looking, successful and extroverted people do you think still read nowadays? As a result, shy persons have all the opportunities in the world to get good positions, in almost any field. They are hard working, they can keep their mouth shut and they can be loyal.
Furthermore, timid persons have started to rejoice such good a fame lately that we, the daring should get some lessons. Did you know that they actually have more contact with the public than the rest of us normally do? That happens because shy people give others a feeling of serenity – they don’t seem capable of talking over somebody else’s private issues.
You would never guess, but they say very high hills were actually designed for shy women. They need to prove they can do it, and by it I mean absolutely anything. These kinds of persons are fighters, so if, by any chance, you are member of this group don’t be embarrassed! Your group mates are among the most motivated persons, since they have a well-established purpose they want to reach. For the rest of us, I would say that being a little shy, from time to time, could bring out some nice results!
The key word to your success is dare, you’ll see the rest of it comes along!
