Imagine you are trying to improve your self confidence. You have set yourself up to make a speech to a convention in three weeks, even though the thought of doing it terrifies you. What is your best course of action?

To build self-confidence, face the challenging task and prepare for it rather than avoiding it. With three weeks before the speech, practicing gives you time to improve and feel more capable. So the best course of action is to practice until you feel you can do it, not ask someone else to do it or give up.
