I am posting this short story for inspiration in our day- to- day life...
"MEN AND WOMEN ARE LIMITED NOT BY THE PLACE OF THEIR BIRT, NOT BY THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN, BUT BY THE SIZE OF THEIR HOPE" – John Johnson
John Johnson was raised in Arkansas City, Arkansas. That was a real break, because it is an established but little known fact that Arkansas City, Arkansas is the geographical center of the world you want to go – and the maximum distance is just twelve thousand miles.
Mr. Johnson went less than two thousand miles from the tin – roofed shotgun house where he was born, but he did go far enough to live on Chicago’s Gold Coast and next door to Bob Hope in Palm Springs, California. He has been listed as one of the four hundred wealthiest men in America.
"WHEN OBSTACLES ARISE, CHANGE YOUR DIRECTION TO REACH YOUR GOAL. NOT THE DECISION TO GET THERE"
Many people have accomplished great things because they didn’t know it couldn’t be done. Henry Ford was broke at age forty, had limited formal education, but was a man with vision. Mr. Ford conceived the idea that a V-8 engine was a possibility. His engineers scoffed at the idea. But since he was the boss, they halfheartedly worked on some plans before they told him it was impossibility. Mr. Ford, however, insisted that the men give it more effort. They did, but still arrived at the same conclusion: Impossible. When they again told Mr. Ford that it was impossible, he came reasonably close to losing his temper and told the men in no uncertain terms that he had to have a V-8 engine. This time the men attacked it with new vigor and the V-8 engine became reality.

Me with my Ex-house Owner & Family at M.P
North Indian Food serve by My ex-house Owner at M.P
I took a break and travel to M.P to wrap up my personal work which I have left last year and also meet my ex-colleague from my last company. I start my journey from Chennai by train and had very fun journey. I was feeling lonesome as I boarded the train but my travel companions are very cheerful and fun loving. Despite the long distance its very interesting journey. Since it is summer season the temperature is extremely hot with dry wind.
As I reach my destination, I put up in my friend house. Since I had very limited time I call my friend to meet them up immediately. During my stay in M.P the most memorable person is my ex-house Owner, so I take time to meet their family too. They are really very nice and loving to me while I was there at M.P. They prepare North Indian traditional meal. I take sometimes to chat with them and had good time with them as usual.
The Mizo Community in Chennai come together for Praise and Worship every Sunday. It does not matter what Christian denomination we belong, as long as we are Mizo we can participate and join them. The community share and pray together as a Christians.
I am glad to know that this kind of practice is going on for many years at Chennai. As a community we come to know one another which is very important once we are away from our home state. After the Church Service is over they will serve tea which is one of the important traditions in Mizo Society/Community. Especially for me I am glad to meet my cousins whom I have not met them years, here we come together and meet more often than our hometown
