Storytelling

Challenge and Selection

Storytelling is the best way of expressing our emotions. I learnt recently that storytelling is an  interesting and influential medium for sharing one’s thoughts. It is based on creative ways you can  think and to inspire other people through your story. We have to look at the better side to improve  our situation. Telling stories and sharing thoughts with others is good way of empowering them.

Application

I have Instagram page to share my paintings, stories, and thoughts. During Covid-19 lockdown period  people are bored. I posted some interesting stories, arts, crafts to inspire them and to encourage  them to spend their free time in interesting ways. I also share my thoughts and stories with my  friends through my life experiences because I believe that something wonderful is about to happen.  Just create the beauty from your own imagination and express your emotions through art. Because  of my page I have so many friends on social media. Some of them are very special to me. One day I  posted story and a friend replied me weird. I was so confused because of that reply. So I asked her  and then I understood that she was so worried about things in her life.

Insight and Approach

Well then I tried to understand her problem and found that she is very confused and depressed  regarding many things happen in her life. Then I motivated her through best life stories that I know  also through my arts and cracked some funny jokes and shared memes which soothed her feelings.  Then she was laughing, just like old times. It was amazing feeling to help someone in even a small  way possible.

This course made me see storytelling is a tool of influencing people. I am graduate engineer and I am  very passionate about design and art. I aspire to be a good designer someday. This course is very  useful for my life and my designing career. Thanks for motivating me and sharing great stories and  messages.
