I'm sure many talented people give up on writing, performing, etc., because of their shy personalities and inner sensitivity. I understand their pain, but I always hear my mother's admonition to "get a thick skin." I used to be shocked at a good review. I also used to somehow diminish thew good comments with some self-disparaging reply. Now, I give a heartfelt "Thank you." Even rejections and criticism, I take as constructive advice.Viola Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422914757313213787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295513765923392477.post-16054247501356515602011-02-27T10:19:11.477-08:002011-02-27T10:19:11.477-08:00Vijaya,

I'm learning from you and others at DR to kick my shyness in the A@@ and forget about it- if only for a few minutes at a time. Recently, I forced myself to accept a certificate in front of a bunch "VIPs" Thinking "it's for my career." We'll see how it pays off.
