Story telling.

I used to be a good story teller.
Not that very effective, but just good enough to scrape through life.
In the process I touched a few hearts.
One thing I learnt was that people like to listen to story.
You may have a point to tell and you shared with certain people.
In the process, some points were missing or misinterpreted.
Then your good intention went down the drain.
But, I noticed that the same point when shared by telling story, people tend to be more receptive of your ideas.
That is the power of story telling.
You just have to master the art of story telling to become a good story teller.
One trick is to be a very good listener.
One has to just listen attentively to what was not being said.
Yes.
The non spoken words.
Gestures.
Body language.
Spot the sign and ask.
Experience will help you go through that.

I was on my way to turn coals into diamonds when I found myself sidetracked by certain events in my life.
Priorities.
Three years have passed and am looking forward to resurrect my career in this story telling business.
Three years is a long hiatus.
Even hibernation don't take that long.

Now that I have a window of opportunity for a few hours in the morning to do something that I am fond of.

ALLAH has answered my prayer and a door has been opened.
Last Friday, Jan 17th, I had a good and sincere discussion about making a comeback.
I gave a serious thought about what was being said.
Everything was put on the table for everyone present to see, discuss, giving feed backs. 

So, today Monday the 20th, is a brand new day.
I am hoping that I can start telling a story before Friday.
InsyaALLAH.

Now I have a story to tell.
