Anyway let's dive deep in today's topicπ β¦. Do you also find yourself little uncomfortable or shy when it comes to sharing your views with people or you feel like escaping from the moment π then all these symptoms are evidence of claiming that you are sick π·β¦.

And me being your detector π promise you that by the end of this blog you would be able to conquer your problem more scientifically.
Public speaking is actually an art which is not inbuilt . This is something that we inherit from the society. Public speaking is a need of our because it not only teaches you to put forward your views but also groom's your overall personality.
Let me share my story here :
Back in my school days when I was in class 6, one day my teacher suddenly called my best friend who was sitting next to me . She went to the teacher leaving me in deep thinking of what had happened π³. She came back smiling and the moment she sat , my first question was ,why did the teacher called you . With an innocent face and charm in her eyes she said that teacher had told her about the upcoming English declamation in the school and she was chosen from our class. Being a kid her words pinched me like a painful wound π . My heart was asking me why was I not told to participate in the competition. But then like any other kid I congratulated her π and went away. This was the first time I felt so bad that why not me . Went back to home with some unseen tears but my mother π© that day said next morning just go back to your teacher and ask her if you could also participate. Her soft words acted as an ointment on my wound and then I decided to talk to.mam and would say her that I am also interested in the participation. Next morning I ran towards my teacher with zeal and enthusiasm on another leve but her one line shattered me . She said that she was supposed to name only one child from the class and that child must be very confident. You know you sometimes stuck in between and this is an competition so we had to choose the best kid. By saying so she went to her staff room and I was sinking inside. How can she say that I am not the best , I can also speak nicely and standing In corridor i promised myself that one day I will prove everybody how well I can speak . Days passed by and I also forgot about competition. One fine day our school hoisted an hindi poem recitation program. Me and my friend get ourself enrolled in the list . I was very happy that finally I got an opportunity. Everyday I would practice poem two to three times and finally the day came by. I was very happy to at least participate. The moment we enters in the hall I could see so many students there and got panic. π it was my first time to speak in front of so many students. Firstly my friend step towards the stage and recieted a very nice poem that too with out any pause. I knew that next turn will be mine. My heart β€was beating like anything. Suddenly mam announced my name and I went to the stage with shivery legs and arms . I was feeling pure blank . Then my teacher came back she slightly pat my shoulder and ask me to start without fear . I somehow managed to finish the poem but deep inside I was not happy with my performance. I could hear my shivery voice which was not under my control
After every performance there came the moment of prize distribution. I knew that I want get the prize at all and that actually happened. My friend got 2 ND prize , I was happy for her but more than that I was worried about myself. Because the feeling on stage was not something that I felt earlier.
The bell rang and me and my friend went to our class . I asked her did she also felt the way I fell on stage. And then she told me that because it was my first time participation that's why I was nervous and this all happened because of nervousness . I went to my mother and she acted as an guide in my life. She told me to participate in all the competition that comes by and you will improve on your own .
Her simple words made a small home in my β€heart. Everytime I would get my self enrolled without even thinking weather I would be able to perform well or not . The felling of nervousness did came my way not once but so many times but the whole procedure of going on stage ,returning back with some regret, and then moving ahead made me a new person.
I realized my improvement when I got 1st prize in English poem recitation. After that i was unstoppable. I represented my school so many times in Declamation, poetry recitation, debates and even hoisted our school sports day .
Through my story I just want to tell you that there will be times when you will feel nervous, not so confident but in that situation you don't stop then no one can stop you to reach up heights.
Everyone feel nervous or underconfidence but they don't stop learning. Hence learning continuously is the key of improvement πβ¦
