Happy Morning,

An Average child till the age of 9 or 10 Listens to parents, friends, peers, 
society, etc close to 1,50,000 times the words "YOU CAN'T". 

In a class, a teacher told the students to write in their rough note book on 
what he or she can't. Students wrote I can't dance, I can't sing, I cannot do 
public speaking, I am not good at Maths, I am not good at science, etc, etc, 
etc,. After every student has written what they can't in the rough note book, 
teacher asked them to tear that sheet from the rough notebook. Teacher asked 
the students to follow her to the school ground. So the students follwed the 
teacher to the school ground. 

She asked the students to dig a hole in the ground and put the teared sheet 
into the dig and close it. The teacher said, "From now on in this academic year 
going forward there won't be the language of anything as I CAN'T. The Language 
should be I CAN, YOU CAN and WE CAN. This is going to be our MOTTO"

Talk to yourself in a positive way. Talk to people the positive way. If a 
School teacher had said to herself I CAN'T we wont have Mother Teresa. Even 
saying this has to be in the positive way.  

A school teacher in calcutta continuously saying to herself I CAN and there 
comes a Mother Teresa. 
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi said I CAN chase the britishers out of India through 
ahimasa and we got a MAHATMA GANDHI. 

This history of the world wont be complete without refering to Mahatma Gandhi 
and Mother Teresa. 

Always say to yourself, to people around you, to your friends, relatives, I 
CAN, YOU CAN, WE CAN.

“The earth is enjoyed by heroes”—this is the unfailing truth. Be a hero. Always 
say, “I have no fear.”
