I definitely understand what you mean as I go to the gym a few times a week. Like in weightlifting, you cannot expect to see an instant result. Like you say, it's small changes that accumulate over time. Great advice. I definitely understand what you mean as I go to the gym a few times a week. Like in weightlifting, you cannot expect to see an instant result. Like you say, it’s small changes that accumulate over time.

But my advice is related to exercise and weight lifting in particular. People continue to waste their time in the gym by doing the same things over and over. They work hard and get nothing in return. It's time for a change! My strategy is to make small changes one at a time. Usually a small change will lead to a huge result. Then you know what works. If you make a bunch of changes at once, you'll never know what works. Isn't it funny how the same concepts apply to so many things in life?

I just made just a little conversation like 5 or less sentences. The problem is I don't know what to talk about. But, the good thing is I did it differently and I feel good about it. Guess, I have to improve the maintaining-the-conversation part. :) I haven’t really made a conversation with people I don’t know. I just made just a little conversation like 5 or less sentences.

That is awesome. Now it's time to take it up a notch. Focus on talking to people you don't know. Make it a goal to strike up a conversation with someone you don't know at least once a day. Sounds simple, but it's a bit more challenging because you'll get more people who would rather not to talk to you. I have a post about versatility, start reading that and practicing that. It will help you in talking to people you don't know. Report you results to me by the end of the week....fair enough? lol VERY NICE!!!!! That is awesome.

I just started conversing with my mom's friend who never ever bothered to have a conversation with me. We had a lil chat and I guess she's not that comfortable talking with me which I don't know what might the reason be or maybe I'm just assuming. But, what I really care about is that I started conversing. Also during that same day, I said hi to one of our neighbors and we had a lil chat. God! Being the first one to converse really did made different results. I think I'm just beginning to look friendly to everyone else. I have to share another one with you. I have a friend whom I never had a decent conversation with because he was never serious in his talks - it's all jokes and all. That has been going on since I met him. Then I started talking to him about food and there, it started, I can speak to him in more comfort and more serious than before. I guess changing what you're doing just proves that it'll give a different result. All it takes is courage to change. But, with this experience, I guess courage isn't such a big deal anymore. Thanks.

I too can relate to what you've said. I'm sick and tired of me being shy and me being always in the background of things. I just don't always get the things that I want to have or to do, because I always just wait for it to come; because I don't want to talk. Okay, I'll be going out there and start talking!

I'm 22 now and changed my ways just recently. Change can happen INSTANTLY. You can be shy all your life (like I was) then make the decision to change yourself right away. Your skills will grow over time, but you can start talking to people right away. 1. Do this, reflect on your life and what you did. 2. Ask yourself what you want exactly. 3. Do it and take action 4. Reflect on what your action and look into how you can become better. Remember that if you want something in life, you <b>get to</b> go out there and get it. I wasn't able to change myself until I realized that I was sick of who I was. Does that make sense? So I hope you read my reply and REALLY go out there and take action on what I said. I want to know what kind of results you get and how it made you feel. Zobrac,

I really want to talk and have a conversation; and I always wait for people to approach me. I guess I have to try another formula which is me approaching other people and start the subject. I think it'll have better results, because I want to be outgoing. I'm 20 btw. :) I’m really a quiet person and I always wait for people to approach me rather than approach them.
