MOTIVATIONAL
MOMENTS
Chase your dreams fearlessly
An article by : HUANG , Rongze , Lance
When I was a little boy, I used to be very shy and cowardly. I seldom talked with
others and never raised my hands in class, because I thought my peers would laugh at
me if I gave out the wrong answer which would really make me feel embarrassed.
However, my teacher Ms. Li noticed this.
One day, she had a conversation with me after class in her office. I was very nervous
as I sat in the chair, wondering if I did something wrong. She started to ask me why I
was always not performing actively in her class. I told her my worries then she told me
to take things easy. She said sincerely, “Since you are a student, you are here to learn so
do not be afraid of making errors, it is very normal. Even I as a teacher will make some
mistakes”. After listening to her words, I felt relieved and relaxed. Afterwards, she
suggested me to join the speech contest in our school. This time, I accepted her advice
without hesitation. She encouraged me and said that I will surely outstand others by
sparing more effort on my practice. In the end, she told me “Do not lose faith in
yourself, do not let others limit your ambitions and dreams, always pursue something
better to enrich your life.”
