I stood in front of nearly 200 financial planners and I talked to them about why financial blogs are a good thing. Im a confident writer. Ive been doing this long enough that I know my strength and my limitations. Im less confident as a speaker. I dont have time to pause to collect my thoughts. Im not able to edit. Im afraid of being trapped in a corner without being able to talk my way out. Basically, Im scared to speak. It would be easy to simply refuse the chances that come my way. When somebody asks me tospeak in front of a group, I could say “no”. When radio and television stations call for an interview, I could say “no”. But for the past two years, Ive been following my own policy to say “yes” to new chances. To say “yes” is to live in fear. My goal is to continually improve myself to become better than I am today. One way to do that is to do the things that scare me, to take them on as challenges, and to learn from them even if I fail. In mid-November, a local station asked me to appear on live television. “I realize its shortnotice,” the producer wrote, “but wed love to have you on the show if youre available tonight.” Iwas frightened. I thought about recent taped television interviews that I had hated. I was afraid ofwhat might happen. But I also thought about the things that had gone right. I thought of how my speaking skills had improved over the past year. And then I thought of the book I was reading, a book that I hadbought for $1.29 at the local store. The Magic of Thinking Big was a huge bestseller during the1960s. Written by Dr. David Schwartz, a professor at Georgia State University, the book containsdozens of practical tips on how to take risks to achieve big goals. Schwartz argues that nobodywill believe in you until you believe in yourself. So when the television producer asked if I wanted to appear on his show, I thought big. “Sure,” I said. “Ill do it.” I acted confidently, but on the inside I was frightened. What I needed was techniques to build up my confidence and to overcome my fear. 1. Why is the author afraid of speaking in public? A. He is aware of his potential. B. He has few chances to talk. C.
