A Response To The Website

I've loved the last few hours. Always nice to hear nice things, to get feedback for an effort that's enveloped one for a period of time, especially so when the objective of the effort is recognized. Many thanks felt for all the lovely things said, also for some of the critical feedback, which also I'm listening to.

I share a story sent by Ajit, saying "I think your website reflects this in every page, right from the tagline, sometimes 'help' helps"

A young girl and her father were walking along the forest path. At some point, they came across a large tree branch on the ground in front of them.

The girl asked her father , "If I try, do you think I could move that branch?"

Her father replied. "I am sure you can, if you use all your strength"

The girl tried her best to lift or push the branch, but she was not strong enough and she couldn't move it. She said, with disappointment, "You were wrong dad, I can't move it"

"Try again, with all your strength", replied her father.

Again the girl tried hard to push the branch. She struggled but it did not move.

"Dad, I cannot do it", said the girl.

Finally her father said. "Young lady, I advised you to use all your strength, You yet didn't ask for my help".

Moral of the story:
Our real strength lies not in independence, but in interdependence.
No individual person has all the strengths, all the resources and all the stamina required for complete blossoming of their vision.
To ask for help and support when we need it is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of wisdom

Thanks much Ajit. It so totally resonates.
