Perhaps you've stopped doing what you want because you're afraid of what others think of you. You feel that you must do what they expect and that you must meet their expectations, otherwise you'll lose their approval. Then, you'll be able to do what you want freely.

Think about yourself, about what you really like and are interested in. You must lead your life independently. However, you might feel afraid to do it because you've always done everything to gain the approval of others. You need to get out of that zone, move to new places, and explore your full potential.

By surrounding yourself with people who think like you, you'll realize that you don't feel judged. Then, you'll start doing what you really want. Your new friends will integrate into your life and you'll also keep your genuine friends. On the other hand, those who are always ready to see the negative and question what you're trying to do will drift away.

To overcome your fear of what others think and of their non-approval, you should start talking about your plans, For instance, you might want to tell a handful of friends about your wishes and dreams. You'll feel confident in yourself and you'll be able to go on your new path without any fear.

It's unavoidable that not everything will be plain sailing, and you'll find obstacles along your way. People in your environment often don't understand what you do no matter how much you explain it, so ignore them.

A. There is no need to think about what you want.

B. You don't have to change your circle of friends.

C. Your life belongs to you, as well as your actions.

D. By talking to them, you'll be able to organize your plans and ideas.

E. If this is the case, it's time to start working on your self-esteem (自尊).

F. You must do what you want without being affected by what others think.

G. However, you must trust in yourself and seek the necessary strength to move forward.

This Friday I will have to give my first presentation on global warming and I am so nervous. What<br />should I do, Jack?<br />Firstly you need an outline of your presentation. You need to answer any questions you will receive<br />from the audience. Besides, it is easier to convince the audience with actual data and<br />pictures will keep your audience from being bored. It can hold their attention if you<br />show them along the way. Do you have any?<br />No. It is another thing to add to my to-do list. I guess I will need at least three or<br />five examples to persuade people about the dangers of global warming.<br />And you also need to keep them interested and involved.<br />What else do I need? Is there anything else I can do to help me relax and be at ease during<br />my presentation?<br />You can give your presentation in front of the mirror. Just pretend that you are standing<br />in front of your audience.<br />Pretending is one thing. Actually giving a speech is another thing.<br />Think positive. Tell yourself that you can do it. You will be amazed by how well you<br />can express yourself.<br />You are right. I will take your advice to practice and learn to relax.<br />This Friday I will have to give my first presentation on global warming. And I am so nervous.
