While for me, I try to find positives in all the daily activities that are going on around me. One such incident took place quite a while back. A small boy used to stay near my house and I used to see him scribble things with a chalk on newspapers and other advertisement papers. I saw this guy for sometime and immediately went to my room. I opened my cupboard, took out my old drawing book and a pack of crayons that I wasn’t using anymore. Took these and gave it to the boy. When I gave it to him, the smile which he gave was truly priceless ! After a few hours, he came and showed me something he scribbled.ย It looked like a tree and river to me though. He then started describing what he has done. I understood partly but the enthusiasm that I saw in this guy was amazing. A couple of hours back he didn’t have anything and now he has drawn something and was so happy ! That was one incident that definitely touched me. A ray of hope, positivity was in the air.

That ensured that I remained patient and waited for the rough patch to end. It was a matter of time and the positivity that ensured I see off the bad time and be ready to enjoy the good times !
