Stage fright.

Stage fright can be defined as a sudden fear that incapacitates an individual who is about to give a talk or perform a task before an audience. It is a negative emotional experience in anticipation of failure during the performance of a task before a large group of people. It usually happens to person(s) who is about to perform a task before an audience for the first time. This emotional experience varies in intensity from a person to another. In some people it can manifest itself as a rushing sweat, in others it can be banging knees, heavy legs and shivering arms in others. One thing that is common to all is that it is overcome over time and practice.
However, there are differences between overcoming stage fright and sleek presentation. A person may not feel any form of fear before or during a presentation and still won't give perfect presentation at expert's judgments. 
Tidbits by which we can overcome stage fright:
(1) understand your presentation thoroughly;
(2) practice the task several times before the actual events;
(3) practice, if possible, at the location of the actual event;
(4) visualize yourself preforming the task successfully and receiving accolades as a result of the success of the presentation;
(5) pray to God for a successful presentation;
(6) read books, watch videos of similar presentations;
(7) after you have completed all these preparatory tasks, launch, get on the stage and give that excellent presentation, never allow any fear to stop the world from benefiting from that rich treasure God has deposited in you.
Stage fright can hinder success at critical moments. Hence it is beneficial to prevent it.

For the sense of sight, it is predominantly the eyes and the brain which interprets what is seen that are involved. Some problem associated with the sense of sights are often associated with the eyes. Some of these health challenges are terminal or permanent and cannot be corrected while science and technology has provided solution to others which are not terminal. Examples of non-terminal, physical eye weakness are: (1) nearsightedness, (2) longsightedness. A nearsighted person can only see close objects but not far or distant objects while a long sighted individual can only see distant images or objects.  According to Helen Keller, she said: awful and to be pitied is the man who have a good sight but the mind that cannot see. It follows that there are men who can be categorized as nearsighted minds and those categorized as...
