Self Confidence

Watching the movie "Wizard of the Oz”, what do I see, Cowardly lion does not have courage, "Courage! What makes the flag on the mast to wave?", 'What others have got that I ain't got with lack of self-confidence? ' 'What others have got that I ain't got with lack of self-confidence?' Whenever I tried to create my image, I felt ignored, lonely, and found no one listening to my nervous voice, Fearful and hurt, I was losing my self-confidence. Fearful and hurt, I was losing my self-confidence, Till I heard the voice, Look over your audience, Speak your heart out, let the people hear in silence, Think of the ways to build your self-confidence. Think of the ways to build the self-confidence, Overcome the despair with the visions of hope, Overcome the fear with acts of self-assurance, As a last act, think you are as superior than anyone else.

So that's how you do it, my feisty friend. You have versed your secret in such a resplendent way, and you alone are proof it works ! I adore the way you are not afraid to be a voice for the underdog, and admire all the traits that you possess so eloquently stated in this poem. Coupled with your in depth modesty, I am proud to be your friend. This is a fave for me. ....... Wen

Great message. I only lack in this area in certain things like mechanics and science or math
