The Creature of Darkness

Someday before I watched a horror movie [Cannot remember the name :)]. There were some creatures which lived in dark caves. At night those creatures came out and killed the villagers. But the creatures were afraid of daylight. At daylight their body converted into ashes and they were destroyed.

Fear is like nothing but those darkness creatures. If your fears can be taken into daylight they will be converted into ashes. Now, the question is how? Answer is very simple....
Just do the things you fear and your fear will be gone.

It's a Party Time!!!

Suppose your parents are requesting you to go to a party. But you don’t want to go. Because you think you will say something stupid. If you don’t say anything it will also be stupid. Or people may understand you are an afraid fellow.....etc. So, you will not attend the party. This has a very bad effect. Because, this will happen all the time. You will never be able go to a party any time.

So your fear will be increased day by day. How to get rid of this problem? The answer is simple, my friend. Just go to the party. Do whatever you want to do. Say whatever you want to say. And you will find that you are not a stupid fellow at all.

Friend, I know what are you thinking. You are thinking, " It is easy to say but hard to do". But, this is the most effective way. I myself tried this.It is very effective.

At the first time, when I went to the party I was feeling like a dead person. I tried to speak but I could not. I tried to walk but my legs were shaking. I thought I was really looking stupid. But you know, nobody had time to notice me. Because, they had many things to do. For the first 3/4 parties I could not speak to anyone. Then I started speaking with known person. And now I speak with unknown persons also. Yes it is true that sometimes I feel shy. But this is reducing day by day. I know I have to develop more.
