Free Your Talent by Yuxi Wang

The other day, my English teacher asked me to come to her after class. That night,I almost lost my sleep. It was not peaceful at all. Guess what she said to me? She said with a big smile that I have done a great job of my English project and if we had time in class she would show it to the whole class if I would.Would I?

After that, I asked myself what made me so uneasy, which gave me an answer that I would not like to believe:my great work. I kept telling myself that it was not good enough to be shown in front of the class,which was not the truth. I was worrying about my
classmates reactions, I was afraid that they thought I was showing off. I was pretending to be not good enough, like I always did, so that my talent would not surprise others, surprise myself. Or the other way round, make a fool out of myself. Before, I was too scared to tell myself what the real answer was, it was the appearance of  a quote written by Marianne Williamson made the change.
The quote Our Deepest Fear is like a candle that light my world. It told me that we always lie to ourselves that we are not good enough. But actually, we are to powerful to be confident that we are powerful. Are we making the world a better place for anybody by hiding our talents? Or our friends know us and like us better? We learn things better? No. We are doing nothing good this way but restricting our strength and missing our opportunity. Free your talent and let it fly, do not fear about the reaction of others,just show it,because it is your talent,your best,your serve to the world.And you will find that the fear of people judging you causes by the unconfident of your talent is just an illusion. And what's more, you have the talent to free others' talents.

We light each other.

I am connected with the line "It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." most. It means it is our strength but not our weakness that most makes us scared, just the same thing I have experienced. It is like we all in the darkness,though everyone has a candle in hands. If you light it, you break the darkness that we are used to and everyone will look at you which you are not used to. The possibility of being judged makes you uncomfortable. However, if everyone lights the candle, the world will full of brightness and warmth, just like the last sentence of the quote says," It is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same."
The picture came to my mind was in the darkness, many candles are shinning. Candles are meant to shine.it is their value, so how about us?
It was all this quote what made me think about all these, I wrote the first blog in my life for it. I am not sure if it is a good blog, but the thing I am sure is, if this time my English teacher asks me to present it to my class, I would.
