"Whenever I feel ...Remember the old show tune? "Whenever I feel afraid, I hold my head erect and whistle a happy tune, and no one will suspect I'm afraid." It's true. Faking it until you make it really does work. Presenting a happy face to the world helps the happy seep right into the deepest parts of you, and pretending you're self-confident when your knees are knocking works, too. The first time I had to give a major speech in front of a lot of important people, I was sooooo afraid I'd bomb. But I smiled, took a deep breath, and pretended I "belonged" there.
