"I was very shy in high school and did not take advantage of opportunities to enlarge and build my talents. I was afraid to try. … Don't be afraid to try. Have confidence in yourself. You won't succeed the first time on anything you do, but successive attempts will bring confidence and the development of new talents."
Elder L. Tom Perry of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, "Sharing Family Heritage," Ensign, Sept. 2006, 8.
