Well, when I was studying in the 8th standard, there was a time when our board examination was coming near and also the school annual function was coming soon. So the school organized a speech competition where we had to participate, but because of the exam, many of the students stepped back from this competition. Then the teacher came to me and said that I had to participate in this competition, and only two days were remaining for this piece, and I couldn't prepare anything. But after that, even after that, I agreed to take part in the speech competition, and I made a decision without having all the information. Then I started practicing the speech. I started preparing, and in two days, I was collecting the data, and I was back to the speed. Then I participated in this competition. After all, with just two days of practice, I could participate in this competition, and I took the prize of second division. After all, in two days, I could complete this, and I took a lesson that when we make a decision and work throughout it, then nothing is impossible. We can do anything.
