PAGE 8-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1973 Number Si$ in a Serifes -v • / I Will Prepare Myself..." By Mike Rothenberger Staff Representative Dale Carnegie & Assoc-, Inc., New York. • Copyright 1965, Dale Carnegie & Assoc., Inc. Spring Grove Eva Freund 675-2135 June is a fortunate woman! She is dark and strikingly at­ tractive. She is married to a prominent and very successful business man in a small west­ ern community. June has five lovely children and a beautiful home. She has a magnetic per­ sonality, and all who meet her recognize her genuine self-con­ fidence, that calm self-assur­ ance that lets others know she is in full control of herself in any situation. But it was not al­ ways that way with June. Just a few years ago she was a shy, backward, frightened, and ter­ ribly inhibited individual. She was miserable at the thought of meeting other people, whether they were strangers or those she knew. She would, literally, stay away from people. She would avoid meetings of the P.T.A., and other organizations in her community, because of her dreadful fear of others. Fortunately, June found the solution to her one great prob­ lem. She overcame her fear of people. Someone convinced her t h a t , i f s h e w o u l d l e a r n t o stand before a group of people and express herself, she would develop a genuine confidence in herself that would spill over in­ to every phase of her life. She finally accepted the chal­ lenge. It was hard for her at first, but she diligently applied herself, and within a period of three short months June awoke to the thrilling realization that her fear was gone. About one year later, that once poor, shy, miserable, in­ hibited girl, who had been held back only by her deep seated fear of people, was invited to serve as chief hostess for a na­ tional convention. She readily accepted, and enjoyed the time of her life throughout the entire event. June had found the quickest and easiest way to develop a foundation of genuine self-con­ fidence. She was released from a mental bondage of false in­ hibitions and fear. She was set free to express her true self and to become, in the eyes of those who knew her, a much more interesting woman. June, did not aspire to be a public speaker, although on several occasions she found it fun. Her real interest was the by-product, the self-confidence that permeated every phase of her life was the most impor­ tant. Countless thousands of both men and women "Have found the same secret. They have found that when they lose their fear .of an audience they lose, at the same time, many of their other fears as well. They have found that, through the development of our per­ sonal abilities, we can prepare ourselves for a richer and more rewarding life. Columnist Back In Groove Reporting News And that's not pronounced Grove, it is "groove". I'm really going to try to have you all hear from Spring Grove in the future.
