job or you just know

3:41

that you're lacking in some sort of

3:43

skill in life i think it's also worth

3:46

realizing that everybody has some sort

3:48

of neuroticism in their life and that

3:50

most people who are outwardly confident

3:53

are usually doing this to compensate for

3:55

something which uh makes them feel a

3:57

little bit insecure i personally

3:59

actually love people who admit to their

4:01

failures in life and who admit that they

4:02

are quite insecure about things i think

4:05

it makes people really modest and quite

4:07

humble which is um a very attractive

4:09

quality i think so i dubbed this the

4:11

eight mile approach based on the eminem

4:13

film

4:14

i think if you're feeling nervous or

4:16

emotional you're probably best off just

4:18

outwardly admitting it i think people

4:20

can often see behind

4:22

any sort of ruse anyone has if they're

4:25

pretending to be okay i think it's quite

4:27

easy to see through this

4:29

and to be honest i think most people if

4:31

you admit this will

4:32

have empathy towards you or they should

4:34

show empathy towards you so for me

4:36

personally

4:37

i have a confidence issue in

4:39

speaking another language i work in the

4:41

easy languages network and all of our

4:43

meetings are held in english so i get to

4:46

see the level of english that all the

4:47

non-native speakers have and it's truly

4:49

amazing so it does make me very

4:51

self-conscious that my german is

4:53

absolutely nowhere near the level of

4:55

english that they have
