The session was organized in one of the tuition class.  I was introduced to the students as a ‘motivational speaker’ and I was expected to deliver a lecture on ‘Goal setting and achieving’. As soon as my lavish introduction got over, a curious student asked “ With due respect  Ma’am, I have attended some sessions on goal setting, so I know how to set a goal but  when it comes to achieving those, all these topics seems unrealistic to me, I would appreciate, if you tell us how to achieve goals? ” With a smile, I asked him “what is your goal?” “I want to become a very renowned ‘chef’ from ‘Switzerland University.’ He smiled with a smirk.

'The day that I have dream for myself'.      A HOPE TO SEE MY BEAUTIFUL WORLD!
