A Nigerian girl who owned Indians' hearts

Emelie Chinelo Stella is from Anambra State, Nigeria. She was a diligent student in Nigeria. After her graduation, she tried to get admission to Indian universities. Seeing her excellent performance, a prestigious university in India, the University of Mysore gave her admission with a good scholarship.
Stella studied M.Sc (chemistry) with meritorious Indian students in the university. She performed her same diligence in India. A few months ago, she finished her exams. The results were declared. She is the topper of the university, this year 2019.
She went to Nigeria happily. She was waiting for the date of convocation, in which she would get her certificate. Unexpectedly she got a piece of news by an Email. She won 20 gold medals and 5 cash prizes from the Indian university.
She came back to India a week ago to attend the convocation at the University of Mysore. The last Sunday ( 17th, March 2019), She sparkled like a star in the university. She became the center of attraction there. She was given 25 prestigious awards ( 20 gold medals and 5 cash prizes). In India, she is the first foreigner who received such a big number of awards at a time. She owned them by competing with Indians.
On 18th, March 2019, all Indian newspapers and online newspapers praised Stella by publishing her success story along with her photos. Indians felt happy with the achievement of this wonderful Nigerian girl.
Stella said to the newspapers "My success was the result of hard work and perseverance. I devoted most of my time to studies. I was either in the classroom or in the library. My country is suffering from poverty, epidemics, and mounds of industrial waste. My life’s goal is to find a solution to all ills through chemistry."
Now Stella is going to pursue PhD ( Doctor of Philosophy ) in the same university in India.
No matter where you are from, you always have opportunities to win, if you have a strong desire.

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

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?
