I lived the life of a celebrity.

Sound of yesterday’s applause is still echoing in my ears.

70 people, that too not once but twice,

Entire class was applauding.

During speaking

Actually yesterday there was a communication skill class, madam was giving a random topic on which marks were also allotted.

Everyone was getting 5 minutes to speak on that random topic and then they had to present that topic in front of 70 students.

My roll number was 20 and as the list reached number 19,

my heartbeat increased and after 5 minutes my number came.

I had not prepared anything about the topic because I wanted to put myself in an uncomfortable zone.

So that I would get stuck somewhere and the whole class would laugh at me but things happened exactly the opposite.

A wonderful speech came out 🎉

My fingers were trembling while speaking,

First bench students were able to see easily.

After the speech was over,

I had to sign.

The photo of the signature you are seeing is of the same signature.

My signature after completing the speech

My fingers were trembling so much.

But yes that Talia(applause) and I want to hear for myself again in the future and it will be.

Don’t take people’s compliments personally otherwise your growth will stop.

PS :) People’s applause and compliments are like drugs.

If you do not use them properly then due to overconfidence you will start writing pages of your own failure.
