your voice deserves to be heard
When we see something bad happening, it is very easy to stay in the background and go on with life. This occurs far to often in school, work, and other day to day activities. It is common to stand back and say to yourself, "Someone else will help, it isn't my business." The thing is, everyone else is thinking the same thing. If everyone does this, we leave no room for change and growth.
Speaking up for yourself or others gives you personal power. You will become more confident in yourself and you can lead others to do the same. You can make a big change by speaking up. When you gain personal power, your confidence will also build. You will find that you are more open to trying new things, and pushing yourself a little further than what you thought you could do. It will also become easier to speak up when you see something you don't like, because you know that your opinion is worthwhile. |
