In our quotidian life everyone gives us a plethora of suggestions about something in our everyday life. But today I would like to talk about the time when I got a suggestion from my mother because in my school my teacher insisted me to participate in the speech competition because it is compulsory for all the all our class students to participate in the competition. And it was an inter-school competition so I was very anxious about that or to participate in the competition because it was my first time to take part in such a competition. So I went to my home after school and I was worried that how I can compete the other participant because I think they were more knowledgeable than me. So my mother asked me why I was sad at that time and I told her everything that there was competition conducted by our school which is inter-school competition so it is very hard for me to take part in that competition. And she motivated me by some motivational lines. For instance she told me that try-off only needs a hard work which helps to achieve higher goals in our life. A person who hard works in their life never gets fail in any aspect. Either it’s a simple or it’s a difficult task or it’s a daily task in our life. So by listening some motivational talks from my mother I took part in that competition and I feel the competition is a piece of cake.

In our daily life, everyone gives us a plethora of suggestions about something. But today, I would like to talk about the time when I received a suggestion from my mother. In school, my teacher insisted that I participate in the speech competition because it was compulsory for all the students in our class. It was an inter-school competition, and I was very anxious about participating because it was my first time taking part in such a competition. After school, I went home worried about how I could compete with the other participants, as I thought they were more knowledgeable than me. My mother asked me why I was sad, and I told her everything about the competition conducted by our school, which was an inter-school competition, and how hard it was for me to take part. She motivated me with some encouraging words. For instance, she told me that trying only requires hard work, which helps to achieve higher goals in life. A person who works hard in their life never fails in any aspect, whether it's a simple task, a difficult task, or a daily task. After listening to my mother's motivational talk, I decided to take part in that competition, and I felt that the competition was a piece of cake.
