Chapter 58 break out of shyness

In my course schedule, there are several classes that are designed to relieve people's inner rigidity and tension.I got down on my knees—and this is by no means an exaggeration—begging my students to come out of their shy turtle shells and see themselves.As long as they are willing to come out, the world will welcome them with enthusiasm.I admit, it takes a little work, but it's worth it.As the French Marshal Fouche clarified when talking about the art of war: the art of war is extremely simple as a concept, but it is very complicated and very difficult to execute.When people climb out of the shy turtle shell, their biggest stumbling block is naturally awkwardness, which is not only manifested physically, but also psychologically, and this feeling will become stronger with age.

It is indeed not an easy task to speak naturally and fluently in front of an audience. You must practice many times to achieve this state.Actors perhaps understand this best. I don't know how many times I've interrupted speakers in the middle of their speeches and asked them to "speak like one."I can't remember how many nights I have racked my brains to train my students to speak naturally, so that when I go home, I am mentally and nervously exhausted.Believe me, this is not as easy as it sounds. In one class, I asked students to act out certain parts of the dialogue, some of which were even in dialect.I want them to throw themselves into these dramatic stories.When they were doing this, they were all amazed to find that, although they might be behaving like fools, they felt pretty good about the joy of doing it!And the whole class was even more amazed at the performance ability shown by some people!So I think once you're comfortable in front of a crowd, it's impossible to back down.And at this time, whether you are facing an individual or in front of a crowd, you can express your opinions in a very normal and habitual way.

The freedom you suddenly feel at this moment is like a bird escaping from the cage of confinement and flying high.look!Why do people flock to the theater or to the cinema?Because there they can see their own kind perform freely on the stage or screen!There they can also see people bare their hearts and emotions in plain sight.
