Today many of my colleagues commend in my confidence,and some even want to emulate my courage ,but it always not the case.during my secondary school days I use to be a timid and shy person, who'd felt I was too incapable of doing things in public.
I could not stand up among my peers, for me then ,once I could not influence you, I get scared of you,I remember vividly from my area then, when some boys ganged up to insult and mock me 😥...I couldn't do much but cry😂.
Even in school I couldn't make proper presentation (debate),I couldn't answer questions in class,I couldn't communicate my ideas,I was trouble but not courageous 😥, I was noisy but not brave.
But when I discovered that the direction of my life was such that I will always meet with new people, I had to brace up,that was when I started network marketing business (neolife)founder JERRY BRASSFIELD a man from California.
I started everyday to dare something seemingly impossible,(reading motivational books) it really helps and it change my thinking, I started to move from grade to grade in the networking business,and each victory boosted my confidence,I kept improving,I kept learning because nothing boost your confidence like adequate preparation I kept accomplishing small task,and kept believing in my abilities to bring result.
A picture of me in the office
I interacted with people who I
felt were courageous because there is a quote that says "always make friend with those that can make impact in your life" and as we interact, I see that there’s hope for me. You must be willing to seek help,
not just as regards courage, but in life generally.
No one person knows it all. Keep seeking help, and
appreciate it when it comes. the futurist and author John Naisbitt agreed in saying “the most important skill to learn is learning how to learn”. If you are proud and conceited about yourself and your imperfections,

A question came to my mind saying,two month ago can you write a letter about yourself? HELL NO I was a dullard ever since I join this chain it has really help me alot and the new people I met too,there is a quote that says you are a PILLAR don't surround yourself with CATERPILLARS y'all know what caterpillars do to pillars..always make friends with those that can make impact in your life.

you may never get to the height of your abilities or potentials. Hence the battle to be humble and teachable is a life time venture.For when you are considered victorious over pride, you may end up being only proud of your humility.
thanks for the time you dedicated to read this post
