Breaking through during tough times

“When someone tells me "no," it doesn't mean I can't do it, it simply means I can't do it with them.”  Karen E. Quinones Miller

Each time when we have big dreams or goals, there comes a time when we face obstacles/barriers. Sometimes these barriers seem so large that they affect our progress its during these times we either break down or break through.

A lady was driving along with her father. They came upon a storm, and the young lady asked her father, What should I do?" He said "keep driving"..Cars began to pull over to the side, the storm was getting worse. "What should I do." The young lady asked? "Keep driving," her father replied. On up a few feet, she noticed that eighteen wheelers were also pulling over. She told her dad, "I must pull over, I can barely see ahead. It is terrible, and everyone is pulling over!" Her father told her,"Don't give up, just keep driving!" Now the storm was terrible, but she never stopped driving, and soon she could see a little more clearly. After a couple of miles she was again on dry land, and the sun came out. Her father said, "Now you can pull over and get out." She said "But why now?" He said:"When you get out, look back at all the people that gave up and are still in the storm, because you never gave up your storm is now over.

This is a testimony for anyone who is going through "hard times". Just because everyone else, even the strongest, gives up. You don't have to...if you keep going, soon your storm will be over and the sun will shine upon your face again.

“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.”  Vince Lombardi

“Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.”  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

Secrets To Effective Public Speaking : Comments

The seminar was well arranged. The facilitator was very encouraging and helpful. He gave individual and personalized feedback that enabled us to improve on our weaknesses and become better. Overall the whole seminar was very educational and organized. 

I would recommend this seminar to a friend. In fact, I have already told a few few friends that they missed out on a great opportunity where useful tips on public speaking were given, including techniques to conquer fear on stage and in front of crowds.  Shahista Somji

Purposeful speaking was one such training a valuable resource to anyone who aspires to be a good public speaker. With great facilitation we learnt to polish skills we already have and learn new ones too, most importantly how to conquer our fears Truly one of the best seminars I have attended.

 

Thank you very much Mujtaba for this insightful journey in the field which many of us were scared to take up but now can do it with confidence.                           Masuma Hussein

Definitely would recommend..it was a an excellent experience..I feel sometimes one needs a source who can dig out a potential which one never realizes exists within...and Mujtaba has the capacity to do it..I can imagine some of the participants who looked as if they had never spoken a word loud,and never will ever..but by end of the day they were in front of the audience with a mike..unbelievable!I myself would love to attend again..                        Masuma Bharwani


The program was good and quite informative, especially the tips on how to deliver a speech and conquering your fears. It was good experience talking in public over short notice. The facilitator was polite and encouraging. It would be of great help if these kind of programs were conducted more often for different age groups, also more impromptu talking would be of great help.
I would recommend it to a friend. Helps to conquer the fears of public speaking and teaches how to speak effectively in public.                                                                Akila Giga
