I think if you read enough of Harry Potter you might find a "magical formula". Better still make friends with Hermoine Granger. She knows everything.
Seriously though, the best way to make yourself bold or give yourself more courage, is to learn about who you are, and learn about your strengths and weaknesses. By learning about yourself you become proud of who you are. And this will give you courage. COURAGE = BOLDNESS.
Have a safe journey into you.

Many people make do by using pure stupidity; having no clue as to the possible consequence of their actions. Oddly this works because others never tell them of the blunders that they leave in their wake, and they go through life in a confident manner but possessing no attributes to be confident in. Obviously you are brighter than this; probably too much of a thinker. You must overcome this tendency to contemplate the possible results of your actions, play to your strengths and work on your weaknesses. There is an element of risk in everything; accept it and take the risk. Undoubtedly you will find that the consequences of failure are not as bad as you assumed; until you try you will never find out. Once you have done it a few times it will become part of your nature to a degree (don't expect miracles; improvement rather than a complete character change). If people are conditioned to the way that you are (always on time, never wrong, etc.) it is possible that you may get negative feedback from them when you don't get things right - that is their problem; they rely on you being perfect too much. The person who never made a mistake never did anything.
Now go out there and take on something that makes you nervous; you don't have to get it spot on. Give yourself a pat on the back for having the bravery to do or even contemplate it. You wont get any admiration from anyone, but realise that you deserve it.
Good luck.

Ok, there is this secret tea mix. I haven't tried it before, but it is supposed to make you bold. Here the recipe, in fact as I type it I will make it for myself and try it. OK?
Boil 1 cup water (Charles waits for the water)
In a mug place 1 tea bag of green tea (Charles hunts up the tea)
Add 1/2 tsp brown sugar (Ah, I found that right away)
The secret ingredient 1 tsp Molasses.
Add the boiling water, and steep 5 minutes. (Charles whistles...)
Now, sip. Oh, that makes me feel funny! Oh, wait! Wait! WAit! WAIt! WAIT!!!! Don't drink this; it will make you BALD, not BOLD!!!
Seriously, there are two things I have discovered that have worked for me, and maybe they will work for you. First, bold is as bold does. Do small bold things and ignore the comments. Wear a bright pair of socks that don't match, and if someone says something about it, well, tell them to "get over it." (With a smile, of course.) Experiment with the clothes you wear and if someone suggests that you are not following fashion, reply that you *make* fashion, you don't follow it! Gather a few of your friends together and try a new food. Ever tried sushi? Be bold, give it a try! Ever tried Thai red curry? Be bold, give it a try!
Second, volunteer first. This is the hard thing to do. Gotta sick friend? Stop by with a little food (chocolate works wonders!). Don't stay, but do visit. Does your school have a musical? Try out! School play? Try out. TM some one you like. What's the worst that can happen: they don't TM back. They laugh? Hey, you make friends you don't stumble into them.
HTH

Well...try remembering this,because it's true and I'm old enough to know it having seen it so many times.
No-one is any more intelligent than anyone else.
No-one knows anymore than anyone else.
And nobody is any less afraid than anyone else.
Just watch everybody around you for a few weeks or so.Study them carefully.Listen to what they say.Most people talk about the same thing over and over again.They know very little outside of their own 'field'.They all talk a good game until the boss appears.
Your lack of boldness is just down to a lack of confidence but if you study people carefully you'll become aware that the great majority of them are just big babies who believe what they have been told to believe.You're as good as anybody.So speak up.If you screw up from time to time....well at least you had the courage to try.All the best.

Visit the barefoot doctor's website. It's well worth it. His advice doesn't involve magic as such but is magical. He was actually talking about boldness last week so the info is probably in the archive if not instantly available. If you can't find it easily add a message to your question and I'll try to explain what he advised. (Good luck. Hiya again 7.25pm. I looked and couldn't find it either.( I am very new to the website, but not the Doc.) . Try emailing the Doc or I think it went; Repeat "I am bold" 81 times per "session" while breathing deeply and rhythmically and do so as often as you can for at least a week to see results. I think I am doing him an injustice with my version. Would you like me to email him for you? Investigating his Toaist background will also help. Let me know what happens. I'll be on line off and on for the next hour. (7.35pm GMT Thurs.). Since you didn't contact me I decided to email him for you. Fri. 02/02/07. just after 4.00 pm Doc sent me a response to your question. First he said we shouldn't have had problems accessing the recent archive and that he will try to sort it out with the webmaster. He then went on to say (EXCUSE MY CAPITALS): "Tell her to access the fear and breathe, with every exhalation, imagine sending it away through her mouth, each inbreath, imagine drawing in courage through her nose, as if it was a fine red vapour, settling in her chest - repeat 9 times 3 times a day and get back to me. Love Doc." Hope that helps. I don't think you have to pay to be able to email him so it sounds worth following up. Very best wishes. Fri 9.50. pm. Hi again Nina, hopefully the last time. I have been searching for you for ages on the Doc's site, finally found the info. On the left hand side (menu board?) go to BAREFOOT JOURNAL. What might be helpful to you is entered under: WEEKEND SPECIAL - BOLD AND ALERT [2007-01-25 05:37:00] Hope so. Regards again.

Formula for boldness: Four shots of Jack Daniels.
Just kidding. I use to be the same way, extremely shy to the point I would consider unhealthy. It took some time for me to overcome shyness...it is a process - work toward boldness and be patient. Each step you take toward breaking away is good. Acknowledging the problem is half the battle now take action steps toward the goal. First realize that you matter. You were created for a specific purpose. You are an original. There is no one like you and there never will be. Focus on what you would like to accomplish rather than what others' approval. Realize that you will never please everyone and stepping out in boldness really means just being yourself...letting others know who you are. Take the focus off of yourself and place it on others around you. Look to meet others needs and this takes the pressure off of yourself. Just remember one thing...you will be led and become what you are focused on. I repeated this request to God "help me to become the person you created me to be." And over time I went from shy to conducting seminars, directing large public events with TV and radio interviews...it is truly amazing what has happened to me. Now I enjoy being the person God intended me to be and experience total freedom. I hope the same for you.

To be bold, you first can't care what others think about you because if you cared, and someone asks you something, you'll take a day or two trying to figure out what to say or do. And second, if you want to be fearless, then be more aware of your surroundings. (just not too much) but to where you can expect things to come and won't easily be frightened. Because the more you expect something to happen, the less prone to fright you are.
:) and finally, Cheers! you should at least accept who you are before all of this. Because you may like yourself better now, than in the future.

Boldness is the formula - you just have to take the risks.. it gets easier the more you do it, so start small. Think out all the risks beforehand and be honest with yourself about the alternative outcomes to what you fear. Before you know it you'll be speaking your mind all over the place and doing all the things you want to.
It's like that cliché - being brave isn't about not being afraid, it's about doing what you're afraid of. Good luck!

You are halfway there when you take an interest in what other people have to say, because your thoughts are outward and not inward.
You are not worrying so much about what people think of you.
Not everyone has boldness in their nature, don't fight who you are.
Instead accept that friends and family probably love you the way you are.
Give yourself a sense of self worth, you are as good as the next person, and for all I know probably better.
Good luck, but above all have fun...

The timid and shy are the best assassins.
Noone even notices them.
I say this, be timid and shy, that is best, for when one is bold, they are rash and stupid, and while they may hold power, it is only for a while, as boldness is based on luck. So remember this, you will have the greatest long term success, because you are shy, but you still want something.
