Ron Miller on "Don't be shy."

    Ron Miller, Walt Disney's son-in-law, died recently, recognizing his career at Walt Disney Productions had suffered because he was shy. Listen to this from his obituary in The New York Times:

    I had always been shy and when I first started becoming involved in creative meetings, I laid back. I had good thoughts, but I let someone else eventually came up with the idea. But Walt wasn't afraid to throw out any idea. He threw out anything. I realized you can't prove to others you've got a certain talent unless you let them know you've got a talent.
