Self-Belief Is The Coolest Thing

I am not much of a collector of items and even worse at preserving old possessions.

I remember though, the first hockey stick that my father presented to me when I was just 3 years old. The first cricket bat and the very first table tennis racquet unfortunately I could not preserve these items and they just remain in my memory. However, there is something not materialistic which I have found in myself and have kept it with me since then.

During my early childhood, I picked up stammering, which became a huge problem for me in school. My father was worried, but with the help of my school teachers, speech therapy sessions, and an inherent tenacity within me, I fought hard against the problem and became a successful speaker in school.

This tenacity and  self belief are precious to me and I have clinged on to them like dear life, never to let them go.

Indeed, self belief is the coolest thing.
