My sincerity on January 2013

Sunday January 13, 2013
It very cloudy in the morning & as usual i got pray Subuh and Duha after that. At times felt so boring with my self, just try on several activities to improved my english skill, at least always look up word by word on digital dictionary, listening English Program like Talk Indonesia, Indonesian Now, Channel Japan thats my favorite program on Metro TV of course. Its was very lucky this weekend i watched that program, yeah...because my last examination have been done on Friday this week January 11.
Last week before, i tried to watching that program especially Channel Japan, i did not watching, I had free seminar in my campus so that i could not watching last week, but I'm very happy could watch my favorite anchor Dalton Tanonaka and Marissa Anita, they was looked very smart both of them. Actually I'm so nervous if i must speak on public, that's not simple even though i read some books to get more self confident, I was blunder in practice & felt bad when i pressed my self to give questions in every where that was chanced to showed up my idea, opinion, or just ask questioned but i failed to lift my hand up, sometimes i did not have any think of about the topic in seminar even i listened & attentively from the begin till the last, and always in that room, but so was difficult to rise up problem or opinion and after that decided to ask the questioned in every forum with lift my hand up for me it was not easy habit to be critical person.

More than just watched TV, almost observed that many people who was to be an anchor has a good public speaking & they have more effectively presentation on some problems they had with clearly. That was disturbed me now days. How to made my self confident in public & mastering in public speaking? I had been met people with good personality, good speaking & their inner was blowing out, even they had sufficient in physics, so the last one was not important again, even they have good personality & they could express anything in their mind, i though that is more than enough be some one who had power-talents & that was key a leader.

Sometimes i did not want worry about this one again, wish to allah made easily may way be a master in public speaking & good personality amin ya rabbal alamin 

Keep on going, keep on trying, keep on smiling i believe i can do everything that's my believe in my self
