Emm I’m here today to enlighten us on the word Discouragement. This word in contest = means = depression, dejection, hopelessness, deterrent, damper, impediment, obstacle or even an obstruction.
In on word, Discouragement is said to be the feeling of despair in the face of obstacles, The expression of opposition and disapproval.
For better understanding I would like to share a story of a young adult with us all. Let’s call him ROY.
Roy sat on the step in misery. He watched his classmate passing by him as if he were invisible. The school magazine committee rejection note in his hands branded him “FISRT CLASS LOSER” - a label he had worn many times. He had hoped this time would be different.
He had hoped that this one ability, cartooning, would help to promote him from his self-imposed “LOSER” status. But the note unceremoniously crushed his hopes.
“The magazine committee has decided nor to use your submission. Thanks you for your submitting your material.”
Why should he be surprised??? Failure haunted him.
He listed his blunders in his mind:
- • An F in Latin
- • An f in Algebra
- • Failured every class in the eight grade
- • Useless at sports
- • Too scared to ask any girl out on a date
With a resigned sigh, Roy turned towards home. He believed that nothing was ever going to change for him.He continued to create imaginary worlds on paper, unable to stop drawing. Repeatedly, through the years, his cartoons were rejected.
Then one day he created a character like himself – “A HABITUAL FAILURE”
