Be More Confident

You will want to be more confident. There is little worse than a lack of confidence in your abilities. You see this all the time. Shy, embarrassed and afraid to speak up is the way of most men.

But it does not have to be that way.

I used to by shy and embarrassed. I hardly ever said anything. I was afraid.

This was all through my childhood, high school, college, graduate school and young adulthood.

Even as an extremely competent professional engineer in my thirties and early 40's.

My marriage did not help me then. I would go home after solving all kinds of work problems and getting a tremendous amount done and get verbally abused by my wife chastising me for everything I was doing wrong. In her eyes, nothing I did was right and everything was wrong.

There is no way for a person to be confident if the people you are around most and have the most impact on you are not good for you.

Most men have no business being married to a woman who criticizes him.

You have to leave her.

It's not.

You may have to make some massive changes in your life.
