Today, we had talked about the topic that a time when we accomplished something we did not think ourselves could do.
Bernda shared an experience with me, about a competition as a freshman. It was a PPT competition, and it requested competitors to give a presentation in public. Each of the freshmen was asked to take part in this competition. As for Bernda, she said that it was a bit difficult for her to speak in public because she was shy in public. She had to practice speaking again and again so that she could be more confident and relaxed in the competition. At last, she won the second prize, which had surprised her so much and made her fell very happy. She told me that there was a person she had to thank a lot. It's her boyfriend. During the preparation for this competition, he helped to alter her PPT design. Besides, on the day of the competition, he also turned up to support her, even if he had class to attend that day. She appreciated him very much, and said that she had become more confident in presentation in public the next time.
While, one of things that I did not think I could do was to write an article in noisy public area. I preferred to write in a quite place rather than a noisy place, because the noise around would interrupt me for deep thinking and usually caused me a feeling of restlessness. But one day, when I was reading a book, called Writing Down the Borns, the author, who worked on writing teaching, suggested that we should try to practice writing on purpose in different situations, such as the subway, the park, the kitchen, the staircase, even the toilet and so on. It seemed to be absurd for me when I first heard of it. But then I asked myself the questions," Why not? It sounds good, isn't it?" I became a little excited to have a try, and believed it would be an amazing experience for me to do it.
So I tried it for the first time in one of my classes, where so many people were talking around me. At first, I felt it a little hard to focus on what I was writing. But with my consciously practicing concentrating on writing, I felt like I was separated from the noisy environment. I could clearly heard the voice from the button of my heart (/ the inner voice). And when I finished my article, I felt happy and proud and a little incredible. It did really be amazing, because I finally accomplished the thing that I had considered to be impossible.
