This host asked a business tycoon about secret of his growth, his answer was that his Intentions are clean, and that is his only secret of his success. He values people who work shoulder with shoulder with him to develop organization and he believes in taking them to higher grounds with him of growth and success. That was really another very valuable piece of information.

We were going through an exercise where every manager had to comment on how one manager would think about good workers in his team and I was a little hesitant on my turn. I told two points being a little shaky, host came up to me and said, Be Expressive, his words really gave me a whole lot confidence and energy, and I stated rest of points with confidence, and that was really amazing to see myself like that.

I believe one can learn so much from what we see around us, its just we need to see them. There is too much data that slips right under our eyes, but we are unable to recognize. A person who holds door so that an elderly can walk in just teaches so much that cannot be explained in words.

The workshop is engraved in my mind and I always go back and refresh valuable things that I learnt and I am really thankful to host and all participants from whom I learnt so much. Thanks to all. Every single moment that we learn from is pretty precious.

A living nightmare, Tewksbury housed children with insane, healthy with contagious. The food was always bad, often rotten. At night, The rats were in charge.

Anne insisted that she and Jim be together. A wish that was honored until Jim died suddenly in night. Anne was all alone now. Afraid but sure she could do better.

Her chance for escape came when an investigative committee came to tour Tewksbury facility in response to rumors of ill treatment and misconduct.

This committee was led by Frank Sanborn. Anne knew that Sanborn could get her out of Tewksbury, if she could just get his attention.

Anne followed investigators from room to room trying to discern which of them was Sanborn. When committee ended their tour and was about to leave, Anne still had not identified Sanborn.

Anne literally jumped in head first. She dove into midst of entire committee. grabbing hold of skirt hems and pant legs, she pleaded - "I don't belong here! I want to go to school!".

Anne’s plea did get Sanborn’s attention. He helped her get out of Tewksbury and into school. 6 years later at age of 20, Anne graduated from Perkins School for blind as valedictorian of her class. She even received surgery to correct her eyesight.

This could be end of a happy story, but Anne’s successes extend far beyond her own life. Anne’s habit of jumping in head first was about to help someone else.

Anne received a call requesting that she become private teacher to a difficult student. She had become quite an innovative educational theorist. Now it was time to exercise her theory’s in real life.

When Anne arrived at home of her new student, she saw that she did have an incredible challenge before her. As usual, Anne dove in. Working with her new student day and night she was able to pierce darkness and break through silence that had held her pupil captive.

The teacher, Annie Sullivan was able to finally reach through and communicate with her student, Helen Keller.

When it is time for you to reach for your dreams, close your eyes, take a deep breath... and jump in head first.
