There is nobody who likes getting embarrassed, just that each and every one of us didn't not see it coming or else we might have avoided any situation that would have warrants that.
Again, I use the word ‘everyone’ because everyone has had their fair share of embarrassment or at least humiliation in his or her life time be it when you were a child or now there must have been that moment when you feel embarrassed on something or a situation. For me, one of the most embarrassing experiences that ever befell me and it something I can never forget was during my initial musical audition test. The very first time in my life when I wanted to try something I love on a stage where people will be watching me.
I had been rehearsing for weeks I have spent so many nights singing and trying to get to the best, my whole family where just watching me been so busy putting my whole time and energy into releasing when I finally got a chance and I had been feeling good and ready to perform. However, as soon as I stepped on the platform and started singing, I thought that it was very performance, because inside of me I knew I could sing, I used to sing in church choir so I thought i was best at it. But the facial impressions of the judges were definitely far from inspiring, and the moment I came to a halt as my performance was over, the judges made sure I knew exactly how terrible they considered what I had done, this guys told me the story of my life
Just like what I expected their criticisms made me feel as if the flames inside of the cheeks are grilling on a blazing fire. They delivered when they discharged me with the rather harsh words to the effect that music was irredeemably reserved for children in my predicament. I felt like the ground should open for me to fall in, my family were there my friends I was so ashamed of myself
When I left the stage the feeling of embarrassment was well and truly familiar to me and their words had really hurt. I went home those words were just playing through my mind, I wanted to quit singing I thought I was a failure and that music is not just my thing As hard as it was for me personally it is such times like this that make you learn and are really good times. Although I do remember what a heavy blow to the ego it was then, I do not mind now because I can see it was something for me to learn about persistence and standing up for one’s beliefs.
In other words, if you are among those people who have ever been faced with an embarrassing situation, they should consider it simply a moment in the life of everybody. Empower it as a reason to move and grow because these moments help become better and build perseverance to succeed.
