Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech?
Performing on stage is a diverse art form that encompasses various subjects. Most individuals are not inherently born as stage performers, yet some possess an inborn genius that allows them to effortlessly command the stage. While many people may shy away from the stage for any purpose, even if given the chance to do so, others excel in different artistic fields such as singing, acting, speaking, dancing, and more.
As for myself, I am not a singer, dancer, or orator with the eloquence of figures like Shashi Tharoor or Michelle Obama, nor can I sing like Taylor Swift. I am an ordinary individual who becomes flustered and blushes whenever I step onto the stage. Despite my perceived limitations, I have participated in numerous performances on both big and small stages.
My first experience on stage was in 1st standard when my mom urged me to recite a memory verse during the school assembly. I vividly recall feeling completely flustered and forgetting the lines I had learned. However, under the stern gaze of my mom, I managed to remember the verse, delivering it at lightning speed due to nervousness. Although no one could comprehend what I recited, I was excused that day as it marked my initial foray into stage performance.
Since then, I have engaged in choir singing, delivered speeches, oriented people, provided training, and now I serve as a trainer guiding others in communication. The journey to reach this point was not easy, but I am committed to becoming a better version of myself each day. I am confident that, If given the opportunity and proper guidance, we can all excel in different fields, even those we never dreamed of.
