Are you shy? If you are, you are not alone. In fact, close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.
Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic.
Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.
You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries. They found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame（责备）themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family, teachers, friends, or bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.
For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation. And don’t forget — if you are shy, you are not the only one.

Some Ways To Create More Time In Your Day Get up earlier
Get up fifteen minutes earlier．Getting up just a bit earlier can give you some breathing(呼吸)space．Perhaps it’ll give you time to sit clown and enjoy your breakfast．Maybe you can use that fifteen minutes a day to read through a book or part of magazines．
Create a plan
At a start of your workday，make a plan．Write down three important tasks you want to achieve that day quickly．Put a big star next to the most important．Now you get into the busy work，Start on that important task and see it through to the end．
Surprisingly few people take the time to plan their work，and end up turning around their wheels and a number of unimportant tasks without really achieving anything big． Finish work on time
Finally，one of the best ways to make more time in your life is to finish your work on time! If you work for an employer(雇主)，try to leave the office on time—at least two days each week．If you work for yourself，you need to be even more self-disciplined(自我约束的)!
What could you do with an extra ten hours every week? How could you create more time in your day?
