What Have They Got That I Ain't Got? Courage!

I had an epiphany today. All those classes you have to take in college with all those projects that force you to mortify yourself in front of that guy you want to impress and where all your friends try to get you to crack up and you can't because you need that A to pass...the class itself doesn't matter. I think the whole point is to teach confidence. I had to talk to someone about something important tonight and I used a lot of things I learned in freshman speech to prepare myself, didn't use those points per say in talking to this person, but knowing I was prepared made me very confident and the talk went pretty smooth. And in my job, being in a position of leadership where I have to talk to people about stuff and I'm in charge of things and I have to make decisions and stand by them, confidence is a major plus. Just my profound thought for the day :)
