The Power Within
In the heart of a bustling city, where the streets hummed with the rhythm of life, there lived a young woman named Sarah. Sarah was like any other person trying to navigate the complexities of modern life, but what set her apart was her unwavering belief in the power within herself. Her life was a testament to the incredible strength and resilience that lie dormant within each of us, waiting to be awakened.
Sarah's journey began in a small town on the outskirts of the city. Growing up in a modest household, she learned early on the value of hard work and determination. But it wasn't until she faced her first major setback that Sarah truly discovered the power within herself.
At the age of ten, Sarah was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder that left her confined to a wheelchair. Suddenly, her world was turned upside down. Overnight, she went from being an active, outgoing child to feeling like she was trapped in a prison of her own body. But instead of succumbing to despair, Sarah made a choice—a choice to rise above her circumstances and embrace the power within herself.
With unwavering determination, Sarah refused to let her disability define her. She threw herself into her studies, excelling academically despite the challenges she faced. And when it came time to pursue her dreams of attending college, she refused to let anything stand in her way. With the support of her family and friends, she embarked on a journey that would change her life forever.
But it wasn't just her academic achievements that set Sarah apart—it was her indomitable spirit, her refusal to give up in the face of adversity. Despite the countless obstacles she encountered along the way, Sarah never lost sight of her goals. She knew that the power to shape her destiny lay within herself, and she refused to let anyone or anything hold her back.
As she navigated the ups and downs of college life, Sarah discovered a newfound sense of purpose. She became involved in campus organizations, volunteering her time to help others in need. She found solace in writing, using her words to inspire and uplift those around her. And through it all, she remained steadfast in her belief that no obstacle was too great to overcome.
It was this unwavering faith in herself that propelled Sarah to new heights of success. After graduating with honors, she went on to pursue a career in public service, using her platform to advocate for those who were often overlooked and marginalized. She became a beacon of hope for others facing similar challenges, showing them that with enough determination and perseverance, anything is possible.
Today, Sarah continues to inspire others with her story of resilience and self-motivation. She travels the country, sharing her message of hope and empowerment with audiences of all ages. And though her journey has been filled with trials and tribulations, she wouldn't change a single moment of it. For it is through adversity that we discover the true power within ourselves—the power to overcome, to persevere, and to achieve our wildest dreams.
And so, dear reader, I leave you with this question: What lies dormant within you, waiting to be awakened? Whatever challenges you may face, whatever obstacles may stand in your way, remember that the power to overcome them lies within yourself. All it takes is a belief in your own strength and a willingness to harness the power within.

Why Just Write Is The Best Advice You Don’t Listen To
Before the last 6 months, I hadn’t written anything that wasn’t for my job or university for a number of years. I wanted to write more, I used to write all the time just for fun. I used to write poems and short stories that were just for me. I used to show them to certain members of my family but it was the process of writing them that I really enjoyed.

Power of controlling emotions
[Music] once upon a time there lived a young boy in a small town the boy had a very short temper and used to shout at anybody anytime and anywhere he would not think for a second before opening his mouth in anger and start using abusive and offensive language everyone used to dislike him for his impulsive and rude Behavior his parents were deeply troubled by his bad temper they tried various methods to help him manage his anger and improve his behavior but all their efforts were in vain the boy was aware of his anger issues but he could never control his temper when things did not go his way one day his father came to him and handed over a bag full of nails and a hammer the boy got very confused his father then said my son you have a very short temper why don't you hammer a nail in the fence every time you get angry at first the boy found it hilarious but then he agreed and took the bag full of nails now every time he would get angry he would run towards the fence and hammer a nail in the fence on the first day he hammered 30 Nails into the fence by the second day he he had hammered 28 more Nails after a week the fence had about 150 Nails as days passed he became more aware of his anger and gradually the number of nails he hammered each day started to decrease eventually there came a day when he did not Hammer any nail at all he realized that it was easier to control his anger than to drive a nail into the fence the boy went to his father and told him that several days has passed and he has not hammered any nail in the fence the father said you have learned to control your temper now remove the nail every time as you control your anger the boy agreed and began to pull in nail out each day he was calm and did not lose his temper a few days later when all the nails were pulled out of the fence the boy happily went to his father and told him about it the father appreciated the son and took him near the fence then the father asked the son pointing to the holes in the fence what do you see there the son replied there are holes in the fence then father said Son you had a very short temper but you learn to control it but look at this fence it still has holes in it that can never be fixed like before the fence never look the same it has cars all over it the boy started to listen closely to his father the father continued you often said harsh things to people in Anger which has left a deep impact on them these impacts are like scars to them which they will remember forever therefore never UT harsh words in anger because although you may forget what you said but the pain inflicted by your words can l a lifetime if we see in our daily lives we will see that just like the boy in the story we often face situations that make us react impulsively if we don't control our anger we might say or do things that we later regret the nails in the fence symbolize the heart we cause to others with our words or actions removing the nail represents the effort needed to heal the damage caused by our actions scars in the fence symbolize that while external injuries heal over time but the wounds caused by harsh shorts can stay fresh for a long time moreover anger is such a fire that burns us first and then spread to others when we are angry our mind becomes clouded and we cannot think clearly what is right and what is wrong anger makes our mouth work faster than our mind many times violence happen in the Heat of the Moment interestingly most of the people in the prison are not professional criminals but ordinary individuals who could not control their anger for a brief moment the main lesson of the story is to be more self-aware and control our emotions it reminds us to think before we speak consider the sequences of our anger and choose our words carefully it teaches us to develop patience empath and understanding knowing that once we say something we can't take it back so whenever you feel that anger is taking over you remember that anger not only hurts others and leaves permanent scars on their hearts but it may also lead to violence and you may have to regret later if you can control yourself in those heated moments you will be thankful ler for keeping your emotions in check that's why it is wisely said that a moment of patience in a moment of anger can save you from a 100 moments of Sorrow [Music]
