By Zenden Y. Dorjee Mentem Psychological Services     Emotions are fundamental to us all; they turn us into sentient beings and make life a valuable experience. Other than the well-established fact that emotions influence our behaviors and overall well-being, emotions are also essential to help us learn and synchronize with other beings of our kind.    Imagine a life in the absence of emotions; man would truly be a machine. There would be no joy, no excitement, no heartbreaks, no love, no sadness. The latter may be of interest to some, but in truth, without such negative experiences, how would you learn?

Well, I used to be one of them and I totally understand the fact that a person with a lack of self-confidence can find it difficult to become successful. Until one day I realized that having low self-confidence will not take me anywhere. I used to have fears especially during presentations in class during my undergraduate studies.

I began asking my classmates abo...
