When somebody stammers in a serial or movie, everybody makes fun of him or her. Even when I watch this, I laugh. When we see a handicapped person, sympathy comes out of our hearts. We never laugh or make fun of his or her situation then why we make fun of a stammer. He or she may be struggling to overcome this problem. It is a kind of handicap. We must advice him or her to overcome this problem and we stop making fun of him or her.
I was also suffering from stammering since my childhood. I was very shy person. I never interacted with people in my childhood. So I developed a habit not to speak to much so that my stammering could not come out. My stammering never affected my academic up to 10+2. After enrolling in a engineering college, I faced that it would ruin my career. From a brilliant student, I ended to a average student due to this. I could not impress my colleagues and lectures due to my stammering problem. This fear grew more and more, as I passed my semester. When I was in 7th semester, I started thinking about job interviews and it gave me pain when I thought, how I would perform in interview. I started googling to find out the cure of my problem. I never found a good way to overcome. Some of tips, I found was to be clam and cool and follow my meditation and relaxation technique. I was tried some medication but I never found a good way. After passing my engineering, I started giving interviews but I could not clear the HR round in most of due to my stammering problem. Finally I joined a speech therapy class and it gave me some confidence and I cleared a interview of a small company in Ghaziabad. But the fear of stammering was always with me. I changed my company and joined a MNC. There I was unable to communicate with my peers and counter part properly due to my problem. After few years I joined Pitney Bowes where I had to communicate to my counter part daily. Thanks to those counter parts who gave me strength and confidence to speak. I never stammered more while talking to them over phone. There my confidence boosted and I thought now I had eradicated my problem. Now I have to work on my verbal and oral communication skill. One of my friend suggested me to write blogs to improve written skills and once written skills will be improved, verbal skills will be improved automatically.
So my dear friends, remove the obstacles from our way and enjoy life. Remember, Winston Churchill, Shahrukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan were also stammerers in their childhood.
