yourself. By raw details we are referring to
things like you age, your height and your weight.
This
is the skeleton of which we are going to work on. And when we have added enough
flesh and blood to this back bone, why even you will be impressed by your
profile! But first let us steer clear of certain pit falls into which most
people fall.
The
Modesty Pitfall
Most
of us have been trained to be very modest. When it comes to saying something
good about our selves we feel very queasy about blowing our own trumpet. Right,
no body is asking you to do any trumpet blowing but facts have to be stated as
facts.
If
you are a music lover and have a good voice too, I can’t see why you can’t put
it down like that itself. Why can’t you declare simply without sounding very
proud that you have good voice? A pointer that you could bear in mind would be
to add something like, “My friends think that I sing rather well.”
There
now, you can’t feel too bad about something as simple as that. It is as good as
saying “some people think that I sing well, but it is for you to decide whether
I have a good voice or not.” Similar
statements that you can work on and even add are given below.
“Lots of people appreciate my
cooking.”
“I am no Rembrandt, but I
enjoy painting.”
“I like decorating, and many
of my friends think that my tastes
are not too bad.”
