Everyone is telling story….

Camera ownership today is quite like TV ownership, not one per family but one per person!

Anyone can have a personal photo gallery and many do. In fact, people can, if they so choose, set up their online gallery, sell pictures to or share pictures with stock photo service provider, record their own music albums, upload a home-made video, share their diary with everyone, or champion a cause with a blog.

Blogging is like offering your free book to a bookshop. Customers come to the section to browse, they read the books they like, they don’t touch the ones outside of their interest, and put back on the shelf books they don’t like. Not all people will like all blogs ‘on the shelf’ and they choose what they like. They don’t have to be nasty about the blogs they don’t like.

Now those who were unable to / too shy to / too constrained can find a voice, a space to freely express himself or herself.

Everyone wants to hear a story / most, if not all, want to tell a story.

The most effective leaders tell stories – real ‘war stories’ [war being metaphorical] and stories coming from the source lend authenticity. Only those who have experienced life, or experienced the journey of growth, can hold an audience’s attention with their stories.

Quotations:

God starts us out on a life course to fulfill a certain purpose and then, only when we are ready, He gives us course corrections. Like a good river pilot, He steers us away from troubled waters, and like a good coach, He never puts us in the game until we are ready. The journey is never boring.

REMEMBER THIS ABOUT YOU...

  Read this out loud to yourself, and mean it!!

  I am precious, valuable, lovable and capable.
  The world will not be the same without me.
  I make a difference in this world, in the community I live in.
  I can make another person smile.
  I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
  I sing for I am loved by a great God whose nature is to give  love, mercy and grace.

  [In Hindi]
  Mai amulya hoon.
  Yeh duniya mayray bina wahi nahin rahegi.
  Mayray hone say is duniya mein kuch badlav hai.
  Mujh se doosre ke chahre pay muskuraahat aati hai.
  Mujhe bhayankar se banaya gaya hai.
  Mujhe gaana hai ki ek mahaan; ishwhar mujhe pyaar karte.
  Hain aur mayray prati daya dikhaate hain.
