A boy was asked to find {y} in this equation 2x + 3y= 12, if
x=3 during a mathematics class after been taught the principles but he could
not. “Why can’t you solve the problem?” the teacher asked. “I have a problem ma”
the boy replied. “What’s wrong with you?” The boy stood up and told the teacher
that he is been thinking of the problem his parents are having at home. This
made the teacher sent him to the school counselor to have a session.
The unsolved
mathematics problem now had to go to his friend who stood up and could not say
anything------ he could say nothing because first, he couldn’t solve the
mathematics problem like his friend and, unlike his friend, he doesn’t know why
he can’t solve the problem so he lost his confidence to speak not only because
he couldn’t solve the problem but more pitifully because he doesn’t seems to
know why (something about self).
You lost your confidence not because you don’t know anything
about something but because you don’t know something about yourself. The first
boy didn’t know the mathematics problem but he knows the home problem and that
was enough for him to stand on his feet to speak. Confidence comes with
knowledge, it is when you know that you can stand with your head high and talk
about what you know.
No one knows nothing, in fact one of the biggest lies anyone
can ever tell someone is “you know nothing!” everyone knows something----- at
least something about self. It is in not being able to say what you know that
you lose your confidence and it is in saying what you know that you gain it.
It is common that people just give in and lost confidence
when they feel they don’t know enough about something. They simply ignore the
little they know and all they know about self to start looking like they know
nothing.
All you need to know to speak up is knowledge----- if you
know anything about something and you need to speak, speak. If you don’t know
anything about something and you need to speak, speak because you sure know
something about who you are! A
