Hey friends, found myself glad after reading few new blogs from you all…

Today I am back again with a small story that will motivate you to start again even after lot of failures.

One day there was a speech competition, conducted by our college English department and Electrical and Electronics Department, to improve students public speaking ability, and I participated and prepared on a topic “Impact of small act of kindness”.

I was not shortlisted for the next round and I asked my department staff (EEE) that why I am not selected for the next round even though my content was better than the people who got selected for the next round.

My professor told me that I should improve my communication in english.

Then I came to know that I paused few more times and filled my gap with fillers. So I was depressed and found that why I am not reaching out all the time because of the way I explain my idea to people by speaking, but it's easy for me to convey my thoughts in written format likey blogs.

Many people commented on my blogs that they can easily related with my stories and they can imagine every scenes I wrote easily.

But I accepted that I should improve the way I communicate with others.

I learned, I paused, I struggled, I practiced, I accepted the opportunity my teacher gave me to present a seminar on “Hybrid stepper motor” (Special Electrical Machines) infront of my classmates. I prepared well and started my seminar in english and I asked a question to define the term hybrid and then I explained why we designed it and how it's used in our everyday life.

Then I used few tamil words to maintain attention of my classmates as they will listen to me more easily when I talk to them in tamil, I know that my audience will easily understand what I am saying when I communicate in their native language.

Finally I conclude the session by answering their questions and doubts in english and the staff who told me to improve my public speaking was happy that I done a good job. He also helped me to know where I want to practice more.

I felt great when I came back to my seat after my seminar. Clap sound gives me a confident that I done it well but also I should improve a little bit.

Then I started communicate in english with my friends as the too want to speak in english confidently in front of others as I spoke I front of them during seminar. So i felt happy that I inspired few people to start trying new things in their life.

You will start working on yourself once you see the changes and people started respecting you, that's the high you won't get anywhere else.

Find your weakness, work on yourself and become a better one before you start hating yourself because, In past I started hate myself that I can't give a speech in front of others but now I can. You should try not to impress others just for you.
