Well, there are so many times when my relatives gave suggestions to me or encouraged me to accomplish my tasks. But today I want to highlight a time when my mother motivated me to complete my academic work. I still remember exactly about three years ago when I was in 12th standard. My teacher insisted that I take part in a speech competition. Although nowadays, being an amiable person, I like to meet people because it allows me to become familiar with new perspectives on human character, which further helps me socialize. But at that time, I was an introverted person, meaning I felt that if I confronted a stranger, it could bring negative vibes for me. Therefore, I overlooked my teacher's conversation. However, she told me it was mandatory for everyone to participate in this competition. I was very tense, and I shared my problems with my mother. She gave me relevant suggestions. Firstly, she motivated me with some motivational lectures. For example, she said that if a person has passion, they can complete every task because success always demands passion, and we need to set our vision towards our goals, nothing else. These words really instilled power in my mind, making me feel that I could do everything. So, without any hesitation, I wrote my name among the other participants and delivered my speech very accurately on the day of the competition with the assistance of my mother. I even won first prize. At that time, my mother gave me positive advice that helped me overcome my fear, and winning the prize encouraged me to move forward and achieve success.
