One of the most important elements, if not the most important, of your personal image is your self-confidence. Self confidence allows you to be comfortable in many situations and act in ways that the people around you feel that you are doing the right thing. Self confident man is free of many limitations imposed on people that lack self-confidence.
But how can an average person, who does not posses a great confidence, can learn the traits and beliefs that self-confidence people have. How can he radiate confidence when he is not at his most comfortable state? One of the most simple methods is through imitation, until the fake becomes real – Fake it ’till you make it.
