5．"Success begins with belief and ends with doubt．"-Larina Kase
I remember reading through a book and the author was writing about being a reverse paranoid（偏执狂）．In that particular section he mentions how he has a belief that the world he's living in is out to give him everything he absolutely wants and desires．
There are times when I think to myself，"Wow，the world is out to get me and make me miserable．"Then I thought，why can't I believe that the world is out to make me a better conversationalist．Then I started adapting to the belief of the reverse paranoia．
When I started talking to people，I truly believed that I was the most interesting person in the room．I believed that everything I said added value to the conversation．I believed that people stayed behind and chatted with me because they found me charismatic．
As a matter of fact，for about five months I wrote down on my bathroom mirror the following affirmation（确定肯定的事）："People love me and respect me．It is an honor to talk to me．People find me interesting and charming and always want to get to know me better！"
I would say the affirmation after I brushed my teeth．And I would continue to say it until I felt completely great about myself．There were days that I just wouldn't feel like saying it，because it would feel like a lie to me．But that's the trouble，like the quote says，success ends when there's doubt．And that's why I continued until I had no doubt in my mind．
Then strange things happened，I noticed that people did find me more interesting，and that I gained more confidence in talking with people．I was more assertive（坚定自信的） at work．I was able to control politics and gossip at work to minimal levels，and became a much better manager，and developed better customer relations to the point that sales were up by 20% compared to the year before，on my best month sales were up by 39%，and this was a year that a recession was happening．
