-Being influenced by my CCA, NCC, i am always interested in managing people and to motivate them to attaining our goals.When i see my NCC juniors lost interest in NCC trainings, i would try my best to motivate them and remind them about their goals

I personally think that i still have a lot to learn about managing people and the motivation techniques, and wish to pursue and to develop in this area.
-I tend not to be outspoken and would agree for the sake of unanimity.
I wish that i could change that to so that i can be a part of the something and not just keeping quiet and not contributing.

What are some of the limiting beliefs that you hold? Take a few minutes to reflect on the impact it has on your self-esteem, your relationships, and actions.

Managing Fear, Self-Awareness & Self-Esteem
To enhance our self-awareness and self-esteem, and knowing how to manage our negative emotions such as fear, plays an important part to our personal development and confidence.I learnt in LMS lessons that it is important to better understand yourself. The better you understand yourself, knowing your strengths and weaknesses for example, the easier for you to change and to use your true potential to the fullest.
It is important for someone to not only high self-awareness but also have a certain level of self-esteem. A person having a high self-esteem is confident about his abilities and is unlikely to give up when facing difficult situations.He thinks positively and believes in himself and only believes that he can succeed. A person with a low self-esteem, he will have doubts with his abilities and thinks pessimistically, and might end up giving up.
During my years in NCC in my secondary school, I was a typical introvert and not used talking to others only when needed.I always portray a stern image , often getting on my peers' and juniors' nerves.My actions taken in NCC were always task-oriented and not care about what others think.I have no confident controlling my juniors well and so have fear instilled in them to make them listen to me.I just wanted to get things done as i feared of failure.
Then there was this time after one of the NCC training, i overheard a conversation among my juniors and peers.
"Who he thinks he is? Some big shot? I hate him!"
Upon hearing that, it really hurt my feelings.It was then i realised that I knew little of myself. After that I changed my ways of getting things done.I threw away the stern image and changed it to a more human-oriented way of doing things. I treated my peers and juniors as my friends and soon enough, I earned the acceptance as a friend.I no longer fear of failure due to the confidence my friends gave me.Through this experience, not only has it increases my self-esteem, it also enhances my self-awareness and helped me in managing my fear.
In 5 years time, i would like people to remember me as someone with healthy self-esteem and high self-awareness, and a good friend. 5years from now, I will maintain my healthy level of self-esteem and self-awareness and so as to not commit the same mistake as in NCC again.
