Everybody feels scared:
— On the first day of a job.
— During a job interview.
— Before closing a big sales deal.
— Before the performance review.
Fear is nothing to be ashamed of. It is not a personal weakness.
Fear is universal — what varies is its degree, how you show it, and how you handle it.
It is ok to be nervous. It is even ok to fumble or make mistakes. It is ok if your mouth goes dry or you can’t speak eloquently. Most people understand.
Don’t walk away from opportunities just because you feel scared — everyone feels the same.
Be imperfect, like everyone else — but face it.
