OUR GREATEST STRENGTHS ARE OUR GREATEST WEAKNESSES

A person who is passionate about speaking in front of huge crowds of people may find that they become too much of a perfectionist and therefore they feel they are inadequate to fulfil such a role.

Everyone tends to over analyse the things they are good at. Barbara Streisand stopped singing in public for over 20years just because she made the small mistake of forgetting the lines to a song in the middle of the performance. Anyone could have made this mistake but for Barbara it was the end of her on stage career for years. Until the day they created Teleprompters. Though she forgot about one thing and that was what would happen if the crowd stood up, like they did, and blocked the prompters. She did manage to make it through that particular show I might add.

If ones ego becomes too big they will always make a mistake. Try to keep yourself in line with the rest of the world, but never hold yourself back because you don’t want to make a mistake. The sky is the limit, as long as you consider your limitations.
