*** PAGE SHARE *** YOURE STRONGER THAN YOU KNOW....!! “I got rejected again!!” Sakshi spoke to her mother on phone and sobbed.It was her third job interview and she had not been able to get through.She was depressed and wanted to cry badly as she sat in the auto speaking to her mother on phone.She went on crying on phone saying that she was worthless and couldnt do anything in life.Her mother was trying to console her and pleading not to cry but nothing worked. The autodriver was listening to the entire conversation Sakshi had with her mother but did not speak anything until he couldnt resist.The autodriver gradually told Sakshi that she was the first girl to sit in his auto who was crying.Sakshi was embarrassed.He told Sakshi that he used to pick up a girl from West Delhi regularly and drop her to her IAS coaching classes.The girl was a polio patient and used to walk with the help of cruthes.She had come all the way from Orrisa to study in Delhi and was living without her parents. Once she reached her coaching, the security guard used to help her to make her sit in comfort in the classroom.This went on for one year.One day while she sat in my auto,I asked her “DONT YOU FEEL SCARED DIDI?”,LIVING ALONE ALONG WITH THIS PHYSICAL DISABILITY?,to which she replied in a very humble manner, “You really are stronger than you know!! Difficult situations allow your power to express itself. And pushing yourself well past your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual limits only serves to expand them.I dont consider being physically disabled as my disability. And I feel frightened too. I’ll admit it. I confront–and walk with–fear all the time. Pretty much every day, actually…When we fail, fall and stumble, get up again and keep on going as quickly as possible. As you know so well,THE PLACE WHERE FAILURE HAPPENS, IS ALSO THE PLACE WHERE COURAGE LIVES !! This is what keeps me going and I know I will qualify IAS one day.And yes, She did!! When your thoughts are crystal clear and you are completely committed to your vision of your future, then the opinions of others mean nothing...These were her words which she uttered to me when I dropped her to her office this morning.
