The inspiration to engage in certain activities that we cannot explain in the interim lies in the awareness of a spiritual personality that guides our actions in certain realms of our choices and decision.

Responsibility: We are all created with a gift and empowered by life’s processes with certain potential to make us responsible for certain issues. An eloquent person is empowered with speech cords to communicate effectively and teach the ignorant to know. The eloquence is not gifted for personal pride, it may also become a vessel for inspiring the sober minds. Our daily lives should make us a solution in a specific area of life. Too many problems and issues springing up daily and less and less persons are emerging to take responsibility as solution to them. Responsibility has its rewards which have no limits, starting from the day you accept to be responsible and become useful.
