Take the first step

There are things which people find embarrassing when they are with others. Like standing straight when national anthem is playing at a place which is not really some national celebration day. I remember going to Rave 3 theatre in Kanpur where they played National Anthem before the movie. Some people hesitated to stand up. And then one person stood, and then stood another, and then everyone. Sometimes we don’t take first step thinking we will be alone in that and that would be embarrassing. But most of the times, others would be thinking the same. Take the first step. And even if you end up being alone, those who find you weird are wrong.

    Well, thats not important. Important is that you take the step if you feel you should do something. Don’t think if you will be odd one out or not.

    Another example would be, when you throw something in the trashcan in a public place, and it doesn’t go inside, you might leave it there thinking its embarrassing to pick the trash from ground and put it back in trashcan. But if you do, the other person might get more confidence to do the same when it happens to him/her.

    quite motivational!
    Instead of thinking what other’s would think, take first step.
    i would like to add one more example , instead of hesitating for asking question, ask it. Because question can’t be wrong but answer might be wrong.
