Everyday is an opportunity to learn something new or experienced something that you have never done before.It could be anything may be learning a new skill, trying to build a new habit or to trying to quit your bad one.I am always curious to learn something new that would help me in my self development but I am always afriad to try something new.

But this week I made an attempt to learn a skill new, a skill that will surely help me in covering my loop holes.

I am always afraid of Leading. For me, leadership is a full time job with tough responsibilities and lots of challenges.But I always wanted to face this challenge once in my life to overcome my fear of that “This is the thing that I can’t.

My father always used to say that If a person has the will to achieve anything he could achieve anything with determination and motivation. So, this is the time I want to experience these lines.

So, when my group members narrow down my idea for the Mega Project they want me to lead this project but I said A big No.Then I realized that “Why not”??. If I have the opportunity to lead then I should go for it.I shouldn’t underestimate myself.So, I said yes This is the thing that I can do and I will. I drop my name as a Leader. I strongly believe in these line:

The only challege I faced in this regard was to convince my self that I can do that. This move has really helped me in Believing myself and boost my confidence and from now I would love to lead whenever I get the opportunity.
