Me:Try to do that assignment.
Students:I won't do that,because I can't do it.
Me:Why don't you try to draw it?
Students:No,I won't. I can't draw it.
I often hear that they will not do it because they can not do it.
I know everyone doesn't like to have embarrassing time.
I understand the feeling. Specifically at the moment when you are laughed by your friends is must be embarrassed memory.
However as far as I'm concerned it back to front.
You don't know wether you can do it or not unless you try things.
Imagine,example,anyone who is interested in playing baseball wants to improve the skill. So he/she says"I won't practice because I can't do it."
Isn't odd?No one can do everything at first.
Inability is not shameful thing.
Young people have much possibility in the future.
Please try to do anything.
Although they might say to me"Mind your own business."
I borrowed the picture from internet.I don't know who has it.If you mind please let me know.I will do deletion.
私がよくする高校生との会話です。
私：「これを描いてね。」
生徒：「できないから、やらなーい。」
私：「こういうのを描いてみるのはどう？」
生徒：「いや、描けないからやらない。」
毎日のようにこのやり取りをしています。誰でも恥ずかしい思いはしたくないけれど、やってみなければ出来るか出来ないかは分からないですよね。
例えば、野球をやりたい人がいるとして
「下手だから練習しない。」と言ってるのと同じで、これって変ですよね。
私が思うにこれは全く逆で、「できないからやる。」ということのような気がします。
ともかくトライしてみて欲しいなと思います。 そんなこと言っていると、「余計なお世話だ。」と言われそうですが。
