Ever since my childhood, I had kind of an inferiority complex and me being introvert and shy added more to it. Whenever I stood before a crowd of people and became a center of attraction, sweat beads would start forming, I would start stammering and babbling nonsense or simply have a nervous breakdown. I had to get over this also to escape the constant taunts of my classmates whenever I was asked to speak something. I thought about getting the help of a professional medical counselor but even after seeking multiple sessions, it didn’t help me. It was then during my graduation that I decided to confront my fears and also took the decision of doing an MBA. I took part in lots of debate competitions and speeches held locally. At night when my hostel was asleep, I would go to the terrace, choose a random topic and looking at my invisible audience, start speaking for as much time as I could. I would fumble a lot in the beginning and words just wouldn’t come out of my mouth most of the time. This practice was occasional at first but turned into a daily habit during the final year of my graduation. In the campus debate competition of my final year, I stood third. The applause, the cheers of the audience and my friends made me believe in myself once again and realize one more thing. Hard work and perseverance are probably the two things that can never be defeated by any force in this world.
