Me...an outside view

This was my dear frnd shy's inspiring and thruthful comment on my last blog entry. I thought that it was worth puttng up as a post to inspire me when i come across this at some later date....

I once read somewhere, or maybe i heard someone famous say this "the worldis a giant stage, and we are all actors, acting out our lives". So yeah, anyone can act, what makes some people better at it than others is becausethey use their creative side of the brain.

Confidence is not something other people could give you. People are selfish these days (we have had countless arguments on that one) they don't want to instill confidence in other people when they themselves lack it. That's the reason why you should build it up yourself and try to think of yourself as the greatest person in the whole world, this should be confused with ego.That's probably why i can take a lot of bugging, no matter what anybody says, it can't hurt my confidence.

Something else, everybody in this world is talented. You just got to findout where you talent lies. Dabbling in a lot of things is probably why you think you don't have talent, cos you've done so many things and yet you cant find what your good at. Pursue one/ two things for an extended period oftime, learn to enjoy it and then see the difference.

Let me be a little morehelpful on that one... you can't sing - because you haven't trained your voice. Writing- your good at it. Playing the guitar- i haven't heard you play it, so i don't know. Acting- your giving it a go, lets see. Photography- from what i've learnt from Jer about how to judge a good picture, i think you have potential. Athletics - i think you have a lot of potential there, you could have become a great sportsman, you have the determination, the training was what you lacked. If you pursued that, you probably might have ended up in a ivy league uni. These are just a fewexamples (you can use this to build up your confidence) and im no expert on these subjects.

You haven't learnt everything you know, you possible can't, if you did, then you must be god.

Nervousness is good. If you think you'll stick out like a sore thumb, always shout out a warning to the others saying "i haven't done this before, soplease correct me if im doing something wrong". People would like you foryour honesty.
