Today, in this competitive world when many new ideas are evolving every day. It is essential for everybody to be competent with communication as well as presentation skill. I agree that our current generation lacks these skills and to ensure that our future generation is strong with these must skills, we should start giving training from the school itself. This essay will assert few points justifying why speaking and presenting are very important skills for anybody to grow professionally.
The profession could be any like a manager in IT company or product company, politician, scientist at NASA, or a individual contributor in any project, in every day of professional life, you have to prepare a presentation and speak to your manager or supervisor to elaborate your ideas. If you lack in any of these skills, you will face problem in convincing people to follow your thoughts. It is very hard to become representative of company or a town or a country without having good communication skill.
Even, these skills are so important that almost all employers conduct group discussions before hiring a candidate.
Then, the important question is how to become expert with these skills? We learn many of our behaviours or skills either from parents or training institute. Without any doubt, parents are the initial teacher for any kids. Kids learn talking and good behaviors from parents. Once they are grown up and start going to school, responsibility partially shifts from parents to school as kids mingle with many other students in school and participate in many activities like speech competition, annual functions, exhibitions etc. So, the school should add special scheduled training to let students learn and practice presentation and speaking skills in public.
To conclude, speaking and presenting in public are essential skills for all to progress in professional life and school should give special attention to make their students far away from stage fear or presenting in public.

It is important for people to take risks, both in their professional lives and their personal lives. Do you think the advantages of taking risks outeigh the disadvantages?It is often argued that taking risks in both professional and personal lives is essential. While there are potential disadvantages to risk-taking, I believe the benefits far outweigh them. Risks can not only prepare individuals for an unpredictable future but also foster a fearless mindset, both of which are crucial for personal and professional growth.
To begin with, taking risks opens up opportunities that can lead to a more prosperous future. The uncertainties of later stages in life mean that no one can predict what will happen. By embracing risks, people increase their chances of achieving success, even if the outcome is not guaranteed. For instance, if an individual decides to invest a portion of their earnings, despite the inherent risk of losing money, the potential return could be significant and life-changing. Without taking this risk, the money might otherwise be spent on non-essential activities, such as dining out or entertainment, which offer no long-term financial benefits. Similarly, in personal life, starting a new relationship involves the risk of emotional vulnerability. While there are no guarantees that a relationship will last or bring happiness, taking that leap often leads to growth and meaningful connections.
Furthermore, a fearless mindset, essential for both personal and professional success, is developed through risk-taking. People who consistently take risks are often more resilient and better equipped to handle challenges. Many successful leaders, for example, built their careers by confronting obstacles head-on rather than avoiding them. These individuals learned early on that facing uncertainties strengthens their problem-solving abilities and enables them to achieve their goals. The well-known saying "no risk, no gain" holds true, as those willing to take calculated risks often reap the rewards, developing a mindset that is critical for long-term success.
Admittedly, taking risks does carry the potential for failure or loss. There is always a chance that an investment may not yield returns or that a relationship may not work out. However, these potential drawbacks are outweighed by the personal growth and opportunities that come from stepping out of one's comfort zone. Without risk, people would remain stagnant, unable to adapt to the unpredictable nature of life. It is through risk-taking that individuals learn valuable lessons, regardless of the immediate outcome.
