There once was a bunch of tiny frogs.. who arranged a running competition. The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower. A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants... Honestly No one in crowd really believed that, the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower... Ever heard statements such as: "Oh, WAY too difficult!! They will NEVER make it to the top." or "Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"

The family belongings fit into the back of a jeep – so the family moved from place to place and without any trouble, my Mother would set up an establishment and get us going. Raised by a widow who had come as a refugee from the then East Bengal, she was a matriculate whe...

On the last day before Christmas, Anit hurried to go to the store to buy the remaining gifts Anit didn't manage to buy  earlier. When Anit saw all the people there, he started to complain to myself. It is going to take forever here and he still have so many other places to go... Christmas really is getting more and more annoying every year. How he wish he could just lie down, go to sleep and only wake up after it... Nonetheless, Anit made my way to the toy section, and there he started to curse the prices, wondering if all kids really play with such expensive toys. While looking in the toy section, Anit noticed a small boy of about 5 years old, pressing a doll against his chest. He kept on touching the hair of the doll and looked so sad. Anit wondered who was this doll for. Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him and said: Granny, are you sure I don't have enough money? The old lady replied: You ...
