rhythmic walk, which doctors said was a miracle.

came in last. For the next few years every race she entered, she came
in last.
Everyone told her to quit, but she kept on running. One day she
actually won a race. And then another.From then on she won every race
she entered. Eventually this little girl - Wilma Rudolph, went on to win

The Moral of the above Stories:
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet, Only through
experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened,
vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.
You gain strength, experience and confidence by every experience where
you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you
cannot do.
And remember, the finest steel gets sent through the hottest furnace.
In LIFE, remember that you pass this way only once! let's live life
to the fullest and give it our extreme best.
"Failure is the pillar of success!"
"Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win."

" Everyone is blessed with numerous weaknesses. Instead of
denying them or ignoring them, select a few and make the
effort to overcome them. It can be a truly life changing
experience. "
