I am that type of person who cares A LOT on what people think of me, which means, I am overly cautious with what I said. Whenever I write anything - tweet, instagram caption, or even email to colleagues, there would be monkeys hanging in my brain that will try to look for an angle where my writing could sounds wrong in terms of grammar, intonation, perspective etc. Because I am sooo scared of making mistake and being misunderstood, most of the time, I end up not saying anything, especially if its involves giving opinions. Now, I can see how destructive it is - being scared to say things because it build that habit to just accept what people said and take it as it is, instead of think critically and look from different angles.
Whenever I talk, I feel like my points are all over the place because my train of thoughts are all over the place. It goes from A to B to D to J and go back to B then Z. Ughh you should hear when I made any spontaneous speeches. Totally embarassing. At the end of every speech, I don't even know if people could understand my messages.
So, here I am, posting my first official blog post as the sign of commitment in improving my communication skills. The goals are to (1) think critically about the topic discussed, (2) able to communicate my thoughts in an organized manner, hence, a better story teller (3) hopefully, help others with my writing.
p/s: At the moment, I am not putting any niche in the content of this blog. So, the topics will revolves around my interests and I would say, pretty random.
Till next time,
F
