    I started wearing baseball caps after I turned 15. I was into martial arts since I was 6 and when I started participating in competitions I used to get hit in the face during fights and end up bruised. I used to feel very uncomfortable in going school among my class fellows after that, one day my father gave me a baseball cap and asked me to wear it to school and assured me that I won’t get noticed that way. I started wearing basecaps and after wearing them I started feeling more confident and good about myself. Although I left the training, but even today when I am not feeling confident about myself, I wear baseball caps with flat brims not just as a fashion item but also due to my personal attachment to them.…

In the long term I don’t think this is good for me because I still struggle with a lot of things that have happened – even those that are in the distant past. I think this is because I chose to not talk about things but instead just ignore them and move on.…

    Delivering your speech Now comes the big day, and even though you’ve practiced the previous day, you are still very nervous. The ideal thing to do is to get to the event, an hour or 45 minutes before it actually starts. This way, you’ll have enough time to prepare you visual aids and other presentation tools, tidy yourself one last time, and perhaps practice one last time, before people start coming. Have a check list if necessary (prepared one day in advance or before you start putting everything in place at the venue), so that you are sure that everything is in place.…
