Ever faced in situation in
which you want to speak to someone in English but couldn’t because of the fear
that people may find it amusing? Yeah?
Fear is the biggest challenge
one faces while achieving something great. It is a big rock just before the
cave of gold. Once you’ve conquered the rock, you rule over the gold!
When you communicate with
someone, it is you and the other person that must matter the communication, not
the audience watching you. You speak for your own self. You speak to enrich
your personality, your dignity. You must not give any care to what others do,
what others think and what others react.
When this revulsion gets
occupied over your mind, the aftermath may leave you in regression which I had
experienced during my school days. Well, school is the initial stage of life
where we learn the basic things but just like most people, I too felt ashamed
of speaking English. When I tried to speak, my friends laughed at me, leaving
me embarrassed. I walked to my home thinking that I had the opportunity but I
kicked it just because others were laughing at me! Worse still, I was sitting
there, frustrated and my friends even might have forgotten the laugh. I wasted
the time in which I could have built myself, just because others were laughing
at me.
I stood up. I thought of not
to care what others think. I spoke English. Grammatical mistakes, lack of
fluency, improper pronunciation, the English was just for name sake you can
say, but I gradually improved. Today, I am better at English and can easily
deliver a speech in public with no hesitation.
You are never too old to
learn. When you learn something, people will laugh. They will laugh at first
but later, it will be you who will laugh at them.
Never fear. Speak. Talk. Make
mistakes. Because that is how you can learn, you can improve!
