Fun fact about me.. I have fear giving speeches and talks.. I am good at Q&A but can never do a proper formal speech without the help of a teacher.. I met @susan_lankester years ago when I was panicking for a speech.. She guided me.. Came to practise with me, corrected my pronunciation, grammars and helped me to build my confidence.
I had many different criticisms about the way I spoke ..And that I am not good in speaking. I didnt feel bad or give up. I dont come from an English speaking family.. Was 10 years in Chinese school.. Speak Cantonese probably my whole life. Now my Malay is so much better with many practise at work with collaegues.
I have given myself a chance to learn.. And I have improved quite a bit. I was even writing columns in The Star Papers for 4 years..With the help of a "ghost editor" Ena who beautified my words but she had never changed my flow and stories..She let me be myself..and I didnt give up! I believe if you have a goal, you can always reach where you want to be. Eventho I am not even there yet!
Everyday I learn something new.. Everyone around me is my teacher. I have learnt a lot from many of my clients too.. I listened and I learnt. Whenever I didnt understand the words..I ask.. I am not embarrassed.. I am not shy.. That is how we can be better.
I will continue to ask.. So forgive me if I do ask you what you mean? Why? What is that? How to say ? Whats that word? and many more.. #Dontgetbored
