  Speaking English is just a cup of tea! Most of us think English is a subject, not a language, so teaching it accordingly. Then we expect that we will have good results. But it might have been finished not learned. When I think of teaching English, I always look at a child and how he learns his mother tongue. His mother tongue means his mother language which he listens to, not his mother speaking all the time and his father just listening. He makes mistakes while learning it. So, we have to keep in mind that learning English is not a subject but a purely language. As we are second language learners, we never speak at the society and workplace. That’s why, we fear speaking outside of the classroom. As a result, we never practise it or realise what errors we make in day-to-day situations. Therefore we have to start speaking it outside such as market place, garden, railway station, playground, library and other places. Once we start speaking it, we will indeed have confidence and...

Further, my mind kept strengthening it and entertained it with self-talk. As if I got enjoyed. But it bound me somewhere in clutches of negativity and mental disturbance. Day by day, I keep the same type of conversation with me and there are consequences too before me. I should remember that everything is good as well.

It is just agony in my mind and several falling out of my mind within me. Consequently, lots of meaning I try to find or provocation is on the high for instigating me on these happenings. One point is sure that reaction either mental or oral comes out. Then it snatches a lot and scattering points for involvement and disturbing self. It insists me to put the efforts into these pointless happenings. Along with these, financial stress takes hold of me and drops me into a pool of thought. In a nut and shell, I don’t get anything good or value-based lessons and content. On the other hand, it makes me run after unknown things. Lastly, what solutions are to be on my side?

  Integrity matters in day-to-day life! Despite being rich or poor, integrity always matters in day-to-day life. It shows trueness and nature. Otherwise, excuses take place unconsciously or unintentionally. Small things also reflect our nature on the part of it. Consequently, it becomes a habit deeply rooted in nature, over time it never allows us to go beyond and think over self-commitment. Most of the time we forget what authenticity is and how it impacts us. For we never pay attention to our integrity part. That’s why we are automatically pushed or headed ahead by our nature. If truly we want to work on this, then we will have to reflect upon our words, reaction and communication. It means that we have to spare sometime for this task every day. In that, we must find out what mistakes or lack of integrity has taken place. In an authentic way, we either take down or share it with others without any fuss.
