I remember the day when one of my friends gave me a book and just by reading I had put a comment on it that "I don't read such books "...And that was the only time for which I had said it...!!
I am talking about the book "YOU CAN WIN"
You can win is written by the author Shiv Khera, a motivational speaker.
This book was actually the first point when I realized I must change.
I realized how good I can be, I realized how powerful I can be and how optimistic I can be.
One of the most Important things I like about this book is the chapter "SELF ESTEEM".
This chapter has rather helped me a lot...SELF ESTEEM is actually THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT OURSELF
Here is one of the stories the author has explained skillfully and which I like the most.
And the story is :
"A beggar was sitting at the train station with a bowl full of pencils. A young executive
passed by and dropped a dollar in the bowl. He then boarded the train. Before the doors
closed, something came to his mind and he went back to the beggar, grabbed a
bunch of pencils, and said, "They are priced right. After all, you are a business person
and so am I," and he left.
Six months later, the executive attended a party. The beggar was also there in a suit and
tie. The beggar recognized the executive, went up to him and said, "You probably don't
recognize me but I remember you." He then narrated the incident that happened six
months before. The executive said, "Now that you have reminded me, I do recall that you
were begging. What are you doing here in your suit and tie?" The beggar replied, "You
probably don't know what you did for me that day. You were the first person in my life
who gave me back my dignity. You grabbed the bunch of pencils and said, 'They are
priced right. After all, you are a business person and so am 1.' After you left, I thought to
myself, what am I doing here? Why am I begging? I decided to do something
constructive with my life. I packed my bag, started working and here I am. I Just want to
thank you for giving me back my dignity. That incident changed my life."
This story has really a deep meaning in that which I thin am trying still trying t get it....
