"DO that one thing that scares you the MOST "

#ARTICLE02

For me it was to face the Crowd

In life, some opportunities are truly special and can't be measured by money. These are the moments and experiences that shape who we are and make life meaningful.

Those experiences will bring joy, growth, and memories with inner strength. They might include meeting someone who changes your life, traveling to a new place, or having a deep conversation that shifts your perspective or sometimes #SPEAKER in a #PANEL DISCUSSION hosted by Gulfnews.network ?? Thank you Explore Education for making it happen and entrusting me the responsibility to conquer my biggest Fear to FACE A CROWD with proper grooming sessions.

These opportunities help us grow as individuals. Like facing a challenge can make us stronger and more resilient. These experiences help us learn more about ourselves and the world around us. Opportunities come with package of memorable experiences and strong networks.

"Sometimes, you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, and sometimes, in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself."

It's important to recognize these opportunities when they come. Sometimes they might seem like small, everyday moments, but they can have a big impact in your life. Being open and present helps us appreciate and make the most of these experiences.

"Do one thing every day that scares you."— Eleanor Roosevelt

Self-growth directly enhances self-esteem by nurturing a sense of accomplishment and self-worth. As you develop new skills and achieve personal goals, you gain confidence in your abilities, which strengthens your self-image. Increased self-awareness helps you understand your strengths and areas for improvement, promoting a balanced view of yourself.

Overcoming challenges builds adaptability, while positive self-talk and self-compassion further improves your self-esteem. The process of self-growth not only equips you with valuable skills but also nurtures a more positive and resilient self-perception.


Improving your public speaking skills can make a significant difference in your confidence and effectiveness. Here are some tips that I have followed thought the journey to make myself become a better speaker:

Know Your Audience: Tailor your message to the interests, needs, and expectations of your audience. Understanding who you’re speaking to can help you connect more effectively.

Practice Regularly: Rehearse your speech multiple times to become familiar with your material and reduce anxiety. Practice in front of a mirror, record yourself, or present to friends for feedback.

Organize Your Content: Structure your speech with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Use bullet points or an outline to keep your thoughts organized and ensure a logical flow.

Manage Your Anxiety: Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or visualization to calm your nerves before speaking. Visualize a successful presentation to boost your confidence.

Get Feedback: Seek constructive criticism from trusted colleagues, mentors, or through self-review. Use this feedback to identify areas for improvement and build on your strengths.

Learn from Others: Watch experienced speakers and analyze their techniques. Observe how they handle different situations and incorporate effective strategies into your own speaking style.

Stay Authentic: Be yourself and speak from the heart. Authenticity helps build a genuine connection with your audience and makes your message more impactful.


Life's most valuable moments often aren't about money. Priceless opportunities give us experiences and lessons that enrich our lives and make us who we are. Welcoming these moments can lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Happy Living!

That's really a great insightful speech. This connects to everyone who is struck with something in life, trapped in comfort zone. Every time we do something that scares us the most and overcome it, we will gain confidence in that thing and it doesn't fear us anymore. Doing one such thing everyday will Take us a step closer to success. Wishing to see more such posts from you in coming days.
