Be Unstoppable - Gaurangi Rastogi

The line is motivational to me. 
People just say, “ Stop! it’s enough!” But why is it enough? 

There is a story about a girl named Sara. She was from a humble family. She was always keen to learn something, whether dance or singing. She would go from house to house to sell her creations to earn a living. Somebody would give her an Rs. 100 notes or a coin. She used to accept it humbly. She used to collect the money to go to a good university abroad.

Once, her family got to know about her work. She was beaten very severely. She had scars all over her body for at least a month. They decided to get her married. On her wedding day, she ran away and came to my home. I had to hide her inside my room. After 12 years, she went to a law college in London. She is one of the best lawyers today. Her family was furious at first, but they supported her at last.

The story is motivating. Isn’t it? But, there is a big lesson I learned don’t stop yourself, or you will stop being a beautiful butterfly.

The Art of Focus - Anvesha Rana

Handling other people is a tedious task, and that, too, with care becomes even more difficult. We expect the best treatment, facilities and equipment when it comes to us, but we seldom realize that to receive the best, we also need to treat others at our best. Treat others the way you wish to be treated. 

Each flower in a garden is unique, yet they all wave off different fragrances. All five fingers are not equal, yet they have additional capabilities to help us. Our unity lies in our diversity; we are together because we are different. We should learn to respect the differences of each individual and have the courage to be who we are and not be what others think we should be. 

Life is best seen as a constant journey in which sometimes we run, walk, crawl, slither, but all matters is that we keep going on. Even if sometimes we fall back and reach square one, we should have the strength to fight back and be even stronger because that is how we take our learning forward.
