The thought of putting yourself out there to show the world what you are capable of can be daunting. We see talented people at every event we attend, but the thoughts of "where were you when people weren't like this" keep coming to mind. People who truly believe that they are exceptional and have the ability to change the world sometimes do not get enough credit when they think no one is listening. People who are self-sufficient and take charge are viewed as being less than competitive in today's market. How can people like that get more recognition?
I believe that people are conditioned to think that they are unimportant. I say this based on my own personal experiences. While growing up I remember feeling the same way as most other children my age. I remember feeling the fear of asking for help in school or dealing with anyone in particular. I felt bad that I couldn't do anything to prove myself and was constantly undermined by other people because of it.
