life, you’ll always come across situations where there will be someone else who’s better than you,
especially there is no one quality or standard that people can be judged on. There will always be
someone who ‘looks better, has more money or is more intelligent than you. How you choose to
approach these situations, of course, depends on the perspective you take. People in themselves
aren’t intimidating, it’s the opinions you form about them that make you feel so. Rather than judging
people on a single attribute and getting intimidated, be comfortable with whom you are and approach
other people as complete individuals rather than a bundle of good or bad attributes.
The key to not letting others intimidate you is to know your own worth. Don’t let your sense of it be
defined by what others think of you or how you compare yourself to them. Know what you are, and be
comfortable in your skin. Instead of feeling threatened and letting your ego in the way, you could
benefit a great deal by being around people who might be better than you in some ways. Respect
others for what they are and use these opportunities to learn from the strengths and virtues of
others.
Don’t get bogged down by what you don’t have or can’t do. We all have limitations. Learn to accept
them and focus on your strengths. A lot of times, we come under pressure from people we believe to
be more popular and influential than us, in a bid to fit in with them. However, at times like these, it’s
important for you to stay true to yourself and say ‘no’ when you’re expected to do something that
makes you uncomfortable.
Your first response to an intimidating person or situation would probably be to avoid them
altogether. However, avoidance only goes on to increase your anxiety. Confront these situations head
on, with more and more practice; you’ll start finding these situations easier to deal with. Always keep
in mind that everybody has flaws and everyone has his/her own share of struggles, even if you aren’t
able to spot them. Our self-esteem gets lowered when we focus too much on our weaknesses and
neglect what we get right. Change this pattern and start giving yourself credit for your strengths
and successes.

Answer:
what is this questionok
Answer:
1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:
It is common knowledge that school children are under great pressure to perform
well in all fields, study ten subjects, play games and develop an impressive image.
How do they manage? The skills, techniques and principles which they pick up
while still young help them cope.
2. Two of twentieth century’s finest minds have lamented that schools are not teaching
the basics of personal excellence or the science of success. Edward De Bono :
“Almost all of what a child learns at school after the age often is totally irrelevant to
his need in later life. Most schools do not teach thinking at all.” The serious thesis of
this article is that management must be taught as a school subject. The weightiest
argument is that children are managers.
3. Many of children are called upon to play directly three of the interpersonal roles:
“Figurehead”, “Leader” and “Liaison Officer”. They do this while assisting teachers
as monitors or class representatives or group leaders during educational tours and
field work; while captaining teams on playgrounds; and while leading teams in quiz,
debating and other competitions. Many more play these roles as surrogates.
4. The decision role of “Entrepreneur” and “Resource Allocator” may only occasionally
be assigned to children. However, it is worth noting that, according to a recent
survey in Delhi, a monthly allocation of up to Rs. 1000 is available as pocket money
to school children. Therefore, school children too need to have control over money
and to develop a sense of budget. If we add to these financial resources, the resources
of time, information and intellect available to children, the first two decision roles are
not irrelevant to them.
5. Children play the other two decision roles: “Disturbance Handler” and “Negotiator”
more often. True, the international roles of “monitor”, “disseminator” and
“spokesman” are not so frequently and formally engaged in by children as by CEOs,
MDs, Vice Presidents and other adult managers.
6. If you cannot see children as managers, they are managers in the making: Many of
the management habits (e.g., using a to-do list), management skills (e.g. Sensitive
