Never a Failure

Failure is the mother of success. People are always striving for success. However, sometimes the impact on human, which is gaining from the process of effort, will be more important than success because this kind of influence is possible to change a person's character and thus a person's life. My personality has been changed because of a little episode of life, and my life also has been changed of its influence.

Before I was in fourth grade, I was always a very introverted child that I didn’t like to initiative to communicate with others and my social circle was often limited to the people sitting next to me. I seemed like live in another space, and I was separated from my classmates, because I could not remember them and they did not remember me either. In the summer of that year, my mother felt that I should be confident and willing to present myself. Thus, she asked me to take a “little compere” training course to improve the ability to express myself in front of others. When my mother first told me about this course, my first response is to resist it, and I said, “What? You ask me to waste my summer vocation to take a useless class, which will force me to talk in front of people and do lots of stupid stuff? I can not believe that!” I remember my mother gave me a face that I could not reject her, and she said, “You should make a change of such habit of timid, or how can you communicate with others in the future?” Moreover, my father always stands by my mother's side, and eventually I was forced to go to this course.

The lecturer of this lesson was Lin Wang, and she was a presenter of Wuhan TV. In the first class, we sat huddled in a circle, and she asked us to introduce ourselves one by one. I was the fourth to introduce myself...

...ves like before. Because of my change, my classmates started to ask me to be the narrator for their dramas, and I always replied them, “yes, sure, I would like to be the narrator to your play”. Moreover, when I was in high school, I started to have an idea about study abroad. In the past, I could not dare to have such idea, because it requires me to face life alone, and there are more unpredictable changes. Now, I'm already studying abroad and facing unpredictable opportunities alone. I did it because of the influence of that compere-training course, and it changed my personality and my life.

The compere-training course was a turning point in my life. From the beginning I was forced to do a self-introduction, and to now I have the ability to come to America learning and living alone. The influence of little trivia can change a person's personality and even his life.
