From rags to riches ^^

Jyothi Reddy was born in a very poor family in Telangana, India. Everyday survival was a struggle for the family. Her father left her at an orphanage. He felt she would get food and a place to live in. Jyothi studied there from class five to class ten. It was a horrible period of time. Water shortage in bathrooms and waiting in a queue to enter the toilet were daily chores. The food in the hostel was full of bugs. To school, She used to walk 3 kilometers barefoot. In the classroom, she used to sit on the last bench, because she was ashamed of her torn clothes.
she got married to a farmer after she passed her 10th class. She was 16 years old, then. Within 3 years, she got two daughters. But her poverty was still with her. She used to work in agricultural fields as a laborer. To make the ends meet, She did many small jobs such as a night school teacher, a librarian, a tailor, and a National Service Volunteer.
While doing these jobs, she completed her graduation, BA. Then she got the job of a government teacher. When she was working as a teacher, she completed her post-graduate diploma in computer application to get the eligibility to work in the US.
She went to the USA to get a good job with a big salary. But she did not get any good job. She did not worry, because optimism and hopes were her weapons. There she worked as an assistant at a gas station, a babysitter, an assistant at a video shop and a recruiter.
She understood she was good at recruitment. She saved USD 40,000 in her 4 years of working in the USA. Using that money, she started her own company "Key Software Solutions", a private limited company, in Phoenix, USA, on October 22, 2001. Her company extended services such as recruitment and developing software solutions. Soon she got her daughters to the US and now both are married and working as software engineers.
The very first year there was a profit of USD 1,68,000 and just after the third year, she hit a million dollars. Now her annual turnover is 50 million dollars. Now 500 employees are working with her company.
Now Jyothi Reddy drives a Mercedes Benz car. She owns over 500 sarees and has more than 30 pairs of sunglasses. She has many spacious houses in Hyderabad and in America. Now your life may not be good. But don't worry. Life is full of surprises. Your life will change dramatically and unexpectedly. Do your present work perfectly. I have hope for the future. Many opportunities will come to you if you have optimism.

The Burning Desire

Once there was an explosion in a school, in America. The horrible fire caught an eight-year-old boy "Glenn Cunningham". His waist, legs, and toes were completely burnt. There was no flesh in his legs. The doctors checked his body and decided to amputate his legs. Glenn and his parents requested the doctors not to amputate. The doctors said "He will never walk again in his life. His legs are useless. They are big burdens to his body." And they left. For many months, he sat in a wheelchair. One day Glenn decided to walk from his wheelchair. But he fell down on the floor. Many times, he used to leave his wheelchair and started walking. But he fell down. He started moving on the floor. He used to drag his legs. For 2 years, there was no change in his legs. One day he was able to stand up on his feet. He used to hold walls and walk slowly. Daily he used to move and walk with the help of walls. He tried days and days to walk. Two years passed. He got some improvem...

A father's suggestion ^^

Approximately 120 years ago, a young boy "Ferenc Molnar" was studying law at Budapest University, Hungary. He was staying alone in a small room in Budapest. His parents were living in their village. His parents had lots of hopes for him. But Ferenc was not a bright student. All his friends passed the exams. But he failed. He felt ashamed. He started drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes. Every day he was thinking about his failure, his friends' success, his parents' money, and his future. His mind was full of depression. His body became powerless because of worry. One night Ferenc was drinking whiskey in his room. A cigarette was in his left hand. A glass of whiskey was in his right hand. And there were some sleeping tablets on the table. His room was filled with smoke. He laid down on a sofa in a relaxing position. He liked being alone. He found relaxation in his new habits. Suddenly the doors opened. Ferenc looked at the doors. A man was standing at the...

The Two Wolves

An old man is teaching his grandson about life. Old man: A fight is going on inside me. Grandson: Oh. what kind of fight is that? Old man: It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is a bad wolf. He is anger, jealousy, worry, depression, fear, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, and guilt. The other one is a good wolf. He is happiness, peace of mind, love, hope, courage, self-confidence. Grandson: why is this fight happening inside you? Old man: The same fight is going on inside you–and inside every other person, too. In every person's heart, this fight continues as long as he is alive. Grandson: What happens if the bad wolf wins? Old man: In your heart, If the bad wolf wins, you will always be sad and depressed. You will fail in everything. Grandson: What happens if the good wolf wins? Old man: If the good wolf wins, you will always be happy and satisfied. You will always win. You will always be successful. Grandson: So which wolf will wi...
