Dealing with insecurity pt 2
I remember during my high school I decided to take a drawing class.
On my first day , to my surprise ,all my class mates are primary school and kindergarten students .
And since they had been there for a long time , they were certainly better than me.
I was so embarrased and decided to quit.
But when I walk out of the door , my teacher said
“You can walk out the door because you are embarrased ,
or you can handle your own feeling and come back to learn.
The moment you decided to retreat .. you will learn nothing . Your own insecurity and pride defeated your passion to learn.
On the other hand , if you challange yourself and come back , not only you’ll learn how to draw , but you will also learn how to defeat yourself ,be humble,
and learn from others who are most unlikely to teach you.
It’s really up to you.”
I come back the next week , and take up the course for almost one year.
And I get uset to asking the primary school kids to teach me how to sketch and use oil colors.
How many times in our lifes our insecurity and pride defeated us in taking up opportunity and doing the right thing?
