Overcoming Hardships - Lokesh B., TAPMI
Right from my childhood, I had this fear of public of public speaking. Whenever I was asked to speak in class, I would get very nervous, stutter so hard, finally end up screwing my speech or presentation. This happened for a long time till my 10th Std. Then I started asking my teachers, elders and seniors in school about how to overcome this. They gavee a lot of valuable tips and ideas. One thing that really helped me was extensive reading and talking in front of the mirror. I started reading novels and newspapers regularly. I would take up some current affairs and practice it as if I was presenting my whole class, in front of the mirror.
