Wow. I have a stutter but I have created quite the toolbox to work semi - good in the real world. But to cite from that book, I dont think I really belive one of these things about myself "I believed that persons enjoyed listening to me. • I believed that I could inspire others. • I believed I could speak well, and interestingly, for lengthy periods of time. • I believed that others wanted to hear my opinions. • My previous long-held perception that persons were embarrassed when I spoke, moved from negative to positive. • My emotions took a distinct upturn; I was elated and overjoyed with my efforts. • My self-image was widening, and I liked the person I was becoming." Good chapter, thanks for the tip!
