Speaking up has power. It allows us to express ourselves and let our voices to be hard.
But it’s not easy to speak up because it’s not the social value that many people grow up with. Minimizing personal issues and showing our consideration towards the others are important manners that many were taught at the young age. Harmony is the goal that’s worth reaching.
Along the way, holding back became normal. When holding an endless thought without speaking up, we miss opportunities to address important issues even to ourselves. We won't know the challenges we face often resonate with the others until we speak up.
Building connections and understanding can start with speaking up.
