"...envy such people, no...Hi there, Indra :-)<br /><br />"...envy such people, not just when they succeed but when they show the courage to take the step."<br /><br />You're so right about that.. such admirable courage and determination. Oh I know what you mean about some frowning on taking such huge risks. We can understand that, right? Comfort zones are hard to break away from. In fact, it's not the new challenge that's tough but it's leaving comfort zones that is. That's the bigger challenge.<br /><br />But as all of life is everything has its own time space and place. Your friend had his, you will have yours too, and so with everybody else.<br /><br />I wish you all the best when your big moment arrives. May God be with you.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by and appreciating the post. Warms the heart so.

Yes, the flower blooms and looks radiant and glorious when it faces the heat of the sun. A flower that doesn't face the heat will wither and fall away without realizing its full potential and beauty. So also the lady. She faced the challenges of business,risk of failure, tension of getting enough customers to keep her floating, sleepless nights and finally with her grit and determination overcame all obstacles and became a success. <br /><br />Most of us in the face of difficulties give up and lose our confidence and faith in our abilities. This is the difference between a winner and a loser. A winner gets up after a fall and keeps moving but a loser doesn't even try to get up after a fall. <br /><br />You post is very motivating and I enjoyed reading it.<br />JosephJoseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871706160363829905.post-80108972284852664402011-03-17T22:57:37.135+08:002011-03-17T22:57:37.135+08:00Awesome...not just inspiring but also told in a co...Awesome...not just inspiring but also told in a compact way. You started it on a here and now note and skillfully moved into the main story. You should more often pick up these stories and share them. <br /><br />There are many who who leave their regular jobs and pursue their dreams or whatever. I know a guy who has done the same thing and is doing quite well on his own. People usually frown upon them but want them to succeed and find myself a lone voice defending their decision. Actually I envy such people, not just when they succeed bu when they show the courage to take the step.indrabloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12797534131912600541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871706160363829905.post-34231935353015565062011-03-17T15:29:03.725+08:002011-03-17T15:29:03.725+08:00Hi KP,
