What effect does these stories have on me....
Well, over a period of time these stories have transformed a cry-baby like me to an optimist.
Whenever life seems a bit difficult, and things doesn’t go our way, instead of cursing our destiny and blaming every single entity around us,
we must focus our energies on other positive aspects of our lives
