Everyone is shy. Other people are waiting for you to introduce yourself to them， they are waiting for you to send them an email， they are waiting for you to ask them on a date. Go ahead.

To make mistakes is human. To own your mistakes is divine. Nothing elevates a person higher than quickly admitting and taking personal responsibility for the mistakes you make and then fixing them fairly. If you mess up， fess up. It’s astounding how powerful this ownership is.
