Hi Terry,

An interesting article!

You concluded, "The right perspective is to see what we have achieved, in spite of the stammer, and how much of an achievement that really is. I think that we should focus on this, and feel good about ourselves"

I totally agree! It is so important to focus on what we have achieved and remind ourselves of our successes. Thinking about what might have been is so futile and damaging.

I also believe in taking the positive out of every speaking situation. There is always something positive there, even though things did not go too well.

Finally, loving ourselves, irrespective of any blemishes, is so importamnt to our self-esteem.

Kindest regards

Alan Badmington
