Life is full of challenges and every challenge give us an opportunity to perceive life differently
Being a member of Toastmasters International, I got the opportunity to volunteer a program 'Speechcraft'. This is a programme to enhance Public Speaking skills
Many participants have joined the programme. An interaction with one of them that changed my perspective towards life
After few sessions, he approached me early morning on Sunday and requested me to bring his 5 years old daughter to the session,since she didn't have any caretaker. I was little worried as to how she would be occupied for 3 hours. But he was appeared to be quite confident to manage her
Without much thought I allowed him to come along with his daughter. Later I came to know of the sad truth that he lost his wife few years ago
I was impressed by his dedication to his self growth. I could see his willingness to learn despite having unforseen challenge in his life. He managed to balance his career, personal growth and his daughter as well
Meeting him reinforce me some unforgettable life lessons:
1. Life throws unpredictable challenges at us, we must strengthen our character to handle them
2. We can always find blessing in everything rather cursing ourselves on what we don't have
3. Positivity is the key to happiness
