Never hesitate
Yes! Never hesitate in doing the right things. Don’t worry what the other people will say about you. Try to convey your message in public this will surely increase your self-confidence and than other will came to know that what you are.
Attitude
Always have positive attitude towards people and situation you come across. Being positive it makes you feel confident. Keep yourself grounded. Remember that self-confident people inspire confidence on others also.
