I started my working life after passing my M. A. in English. I was appointed as a Lecturer in a private college. I struggled to talk clearly. I used to talk speedly but listener told me my speech was not clear. So I used to talk slowly but clearly. I read about a great orator, Demosthenes who struggled a lot to talk clearly.
My gap teeth was another problem. But I didn't think it much and practice how to open my mouth while speaking so that the viewer will not see my teeth.
Dale Carnegie's inspirational book 'How to make friends and influence people' helps me a lot. I used to appear gravely or gloomily often earlier depending on the serious moods. But later on I practice to with others a smiling face. My positive attitude helps me to shun my gloomy appearance.
But it is always not possible for a person to smile as the course of life is not always the same - some day happiness and the other day sorrow. But when the course of life runs slowly I pray to God as Robinson Crusoe did. So with thik and thin I run my life. I always watch to brighter side of life. We must be grateful to God for our existence with health.
We should learn how to lough even to the slightest funny moment.
I used to laugh heartily when I saw my height in a big looking glass for the first time. How short am I! I But my thoughts are high.
Thank you for reading my story.
