One evening me and my father were taking a walk together(When I was 10 years old).
There was a big stone a little ahead. Papa decided to test his daughter's strength and tasked
her with lifting the stone.
Well, the stone was a little too big for me.I tried everything, all possible stance,
all possible angles!but could not move the stone. After tussling with the stone for some
more time I finally gave up.

With a look of despair on my face,I told my father, I failed.
Papa asked, "Daughter, did you use all your strength ?"
I gave him a bemused look.I was certain that even my father knew this fact that I had put in all I had, trying to
lift that stone.
lift that stone.
Once again he asked "Are you sure you used all your strength ?"
Again I nodded confidently.
My father bent down and said, "You forgot to use your biggest strength, me."
This time I tried lifting the stone with my father's help and, it was no longer heavy.
I learnt a big lesson that day.
"Strength is all around you. Its you who needs to identify it, acknowledge it and tap into it.
If you do that, there will be no hurdle which cannot be crossed."
