As people like sharing pieces of their history, let us listen to how they speak, what they say, but precisely what they “mean.” By diving under the surface of their words and following the sound of their intonation, we can get to the bones of their story and, at the same time, a better understanding of oneself.

For the discovery of self, we must overcome the fear of self to find the marrow 'within' and disclose our 'true' self. We are all the construction of a story, and only at the end can we assess the value of the plot.

We want life to make sense. If we don't find meaning or orientation, we are bound to fabulate a living and invent an inspiring life story. When we write out a chosen script, we have to make time to hunker down into attuning it to the hitches of the roadmap, time and again, with fractious patience.

We have all personal DNA with identifiable fingerprints, a distinct background, and a specific experience. With these pawns, we can conceive our own story and individual design requisites to furnish the course of our life.

People who don't construe their life and don't frame their very own tale stay on the sidelines, remain only an act without a story, and turn into an "empty box." Inventiveness and out-of-the-box thinking remain, then, merely wishful thinking.
