The science of stage fright (and how to overcome it) - Mikael Cho

Stage fright... something that is hard to overcome. Have you ever thought though that we all have to deal with it at some point in our lives?. We all feel nervous at tumultuous events such as presentations at school, talent shows, among others. Albeit, we have to learn to deal with them.

 

My insatiable curiosity has always led me to ask questions regarding different topics. Yet, I still have a lot to learn. Stage fright is one of the topics I knew the least. Hence, the reason why I did a little bit of research on it. One of the ways in which you can feel more confident before a presentation is practicing of course. It could be either in front of the mirror or among a group of friends. Further, starter with a hook such as a joke or an anecdote always works.

 

Let us segway more deeply into this topic. The more you practice, the more confident you feel. Nonetheless, is it always good to have a back up plan. In case you either confound the audience with too much information or run out of it shortly. A good speaker should be attuned to the needs of his audience. Hence, you could come up with trivia facts if you run out of time too soon or expand more on your explanations if you feel your audience does not understand you.

 

In review, I  would say to you not to sell yourself short. We all can do public speaking. It is only a matter of practice and good posture. Speaking of posture, which is something I did not touch on, I would like to say that straightening up and walking calmly while speaking is the best thing you can do. Lastly, I would like to add that I hope I am drumming up enthusiasm in reading this blog by bring up less negative matters.

Diana Laufenberg: How to learn? From mistakes

It seems what you have done throughout your life does not add up to much in some cases. Believe me though. You learn from almost every single experience you have been involved in. Do not let anything quash your plans to succeed. We all get wistful at one point or another due to past unfortunate events. However, being able to get by our problems is what we must do so as to progress on.

 

There is no elaborate plan for success. You must trip a hundred times in order to find success. Still and all, the more you try to accomplish what you want, the more chances you have. There are times in which you know you have to step up to the plate in order to fulfil your goals. We all flounder at times. Even so, the more we try, the better. Hence the need not to back out from challenges that would benefit you.

 

Have I tried to keep my failures under wraps for a time. Albeit, I learned that "what does not kill you makes you stronger".  As hard as opportunities are to come by, there is always something good to buck up about. Be that as it may, do you have to cross boundaries oftentimes to achieve your goals.

Regardless of how much it costs you to get around to reach an ambition, it is always good to feel prideful about your accomplishments.

 

In review, I would say that irrespective of how hard it may seems for you to reap success, hope springs eternal. Life may not be as easy as whipping up a quick meal. Nonetheless, it sure is worth living.  Take it upon yourself to fight for your goals and seal every chance  you have to succeed by working hard.

Laura Trice: The power of saying thank you

For years has my family ram their decisions down my throat. Even about the gifts I would get. Conversely though, I have never got used to saying thank you. As much as lack  of sleep can throw your  body out of kilter, guilt can do too. Hence, the need to be grateful for the small things in life. Irrespective of what your situation is right now, there is always something to be thankful for.

 

For instance, I've been plucky enough to confront my kin lately. However, have I not been that way to thank my friends. May I have been maneuvered  into making the wrong decisions in the past. Be that as it may, my friends have been behind me always from the start. Something I had not considered before due to being boxed in my emotions.

 

May I not have been able to lay down the law to my kin and let them know what I wanted to do with my life when I was a teen. Even so, I can do it now. Besides, once I said I was going to succeed and I cannot go back on my word. I may still live off my parents, but at least I am not embarrassed to say it. Nonetheless, it is not that I have not been doing anything in the meantime. I just needed to find a north for a start.

 

Should my own actions spur me on to succeed. There is no point in choking back my tears now. Do I know that what I have been through has not been easy. Still and all, we all withstand pain in our own way. Have I been able to get by my problems with the skills I had at hand. Albeit, I know now that I am capable of much more and so I am going to tug my shirt into my pants and move on. Enough is enough trying to cover up for some of my insecurities.
