Be shameless...a very important and powerful two-word advice! Thanks for sharing this.
I really admire people who are gutsy when it comes to pursuing their dreams and passions no matter what the outcome would be. To some people (including myself), this just seem too difficult..as difficult as not minding what others will say. Maybe if we'll just learn to shut off "the haters and the noise", then failing wouldn't be such a big deal. A failure will just be another lesson learned.
That's right, I think it gets harder too as time goes by, you have 'more to lose' as you get older and it takes more and more guts to step out of that comfort zone.
