Since our childhood, we are influenced by different people, quotations, events and personal experiences.
Life is not smooth for everyone. We go through various phases. If life experiences make us humane inspite of bitter experiences, we have achieved enlightenment in life.
In my life, my mother and stories about Jesus Christ has influenced me a lot. Though I learn everyday from various unknown corners including websites, I feel I am growing and lucky enough to have lived 50 years of my life with little pain or misery.
Apart from my mummy, my husband, my brother, my maternal uncle, and my father, I am grateful to the self help books I have read in my life.
Every time I feel I am defeated, books and people around me became the source of inspiration to rise up and try again.
