HOW TO OVERCOME HESITATION

-

 



Hesitation – When a person cannot express himself / herself in the best possible manner at that point of time, he / she is hesitant. One can hesitate in presence of many people, in a public gathering or in front of any one person. Hesitation stems from lack of confidence, from doubt on one’s ability and from a fear of being judged.

The approach we recommend is to do what makes you extremely uncomfortable or nervous. By doing this, one would face the fears head on. There is no escape and one could measure the full force of fear or hesitation. Once that is done, the worst is known. From there, there is only one road and that road leads to improvement. The following will be very helpful:

1. Speak to strangers – When one speaks to any stranger, one overcomes fear and builds a certain amount of confidence. This confidence increases as one approaches more and more people. It could be shopkeepers, government office employees or just random people in public places.

2. Removing language barriers – If speaking English is an area of concern, then one must speak a lot in English. Getting used to people looking at you strangely can be uncomfortable but it is helpful in the long run. One will lose fear and become very comfortable in any language that one chooses to excel in.

3. Find a mentor – Everyone needs good support and guidance at the start of one’s journey. If one can find, a good mentor / guide, it will be very helpful to find faults and get them corrected for life.

4. Make a friendly support group – Good friends who move on a mission together can be a very valuable resource. Not only there is a great feeling of togetherness in that case, but there is also support, hope and optimism. These all make up a great atmosphere which improves learning and builds a strong personality.


Stay tuned and stay connected.


Bye!

  T here are four major components of speech. A good amount of effort directed towards these will help to increase effectiveness of one’s speech and make it easy for the listener to comprehend. It will also leave a lasting impression and that is extremely important. The four key components are: 1. CONTENT: The topic on which you will speak will surely have some important data or references. Facts are the backbone of good speech. Mentioning those makes a  speech reliable and believable. Speaking on gut feeling alone is not enough and good content differentiates a good speech from an average one. Even if one is speaking with friends or relatives, it will be prudent to make good use of data and facts to put forward one’s views. Over a period of time, it will become a habit and thus will be a permanent part of one’s personality. 2. LANGUAGE: One needs to be good at communicating one’s thoughts everywhere. The language could be Hindi or English but one’s ability to understand both and to co

  Developing a child's life requires that the child is equipped with a lot of knowledge from different fields. In today's world, what kind of knowledge should parents give to children? If this is understood, a lot of problems can be solved easily. Let us consider a scenario where parents interact with children and provide different kinds of information. On the other hand there is a house where parents are very busy and do not interact with children and thus the children do not benefit from knowledge. Over a period of time the gap increases tremendously and the child who had the support of parents and who got knowledge regularly would have built a large knowledge base. This child will be confident and will be able to express an opinion on different things. We all want our children to be smart, confident and clever. But all these qualities are built in a child on basis of the knowledge that he/she acquires. Therefore it is the parents duty to provide books, reading material and a

While it is true that impulsive nature has its merit but a careful analysis of self, family and the child is very necessary in case we want to bring out the best in the child. Therefore, in many cases, it is our(the parent)depth of judgement which decides how the child is going to walk on the decided path.  This can be understood by a simple example.
