Last Minute Nerves...
 

Today the media attention will be focused on Prime Minister David Cameron as he answers much important questions at the Leveson inquiry http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18437287.

Even though Mr Cameron has had much practice and experience of being in the public eye, will he show signs of nerves or anxiousness today? Or will he confidently answer questions as eloquently as a swan, kicking rapidly under water (or kicking his staff in the background)?

No one is immune from last minute nerves (it's a case of how we hide them), and nerves can be the "make or break" of a person's success. Rumour once told the story of Leonardo Dicaprio, not wanting to win an award, so that he would not have to give an acceptance speech. Christina Aguilera an amazing singer is known on occasion to forget her words (just like many other celebrities) http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/christina-aguilera-flubs-lyrics-to-national-anthem-201162, most recently media speculated, that they saw signs of her nervousness at her idol Etta James' funeral. The list is endless...

So, how do you cope with last minute nerves? What makes you nervous? Sitting exams, attending an interview, taking your driving test, first date, working under pressure, following instructions...something at some point makes us nervous? ACB Big Blog us!
