The sheep fed it and gave it shelter. The lion grew apace and said \u201cBa-a-a\u201d when the sheep said \u201cBa-a-a\u201d. One day another lion came by. \u201cWhat do you do here?\u201d said the second lion in astonishment: for he heard the sheep-lion bleating with the rest. \u201cBa-a-a,\u201d said the other. \u201cI am a little sheep, I am a little sheep, I am frightened.\u201d \u201cNonsense!\u201d roared the first lion, \u201ccome with me; I will show you.\u201d And he took him to the side of a smooth stream and showed him that which was reflected therein. \u201cYou are a lion; look at me, look at the sheep, look at yourself.\u201d And the sheep-lion looked, and then he said, \u201cBa-a-a, I do not look like the sheep\u200a\u2014\u200ait is true, I am a lion!\u201d and with that he roared a roar that shook the hills to their depths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\"><em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">Could, You also be a lion surrounded by a bunch of sheep that are leading you to believe that you\u2019re much less than what you really are?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\"><em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">What do you need to do to be the Lion of your own jungle?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Well they say we are the products of our choices and not our circumstances. So why do we make wrong choices?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">I chose to study Math and Science in high school, graduated in Commerce and got my post-graduation degree in Marketing Management. Worked in Sales and training profile for major part of my career before becoming an <strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">Image Enhancer &amp; a<\/strong> <strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">People Skills Facilitator<\/strong>. It\u2019s difficult to find the link right? So basically I was doing everything that others did, thinking that it might work for me too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">But one thing that I didn&#8217;t tell you, was that my passion lied in teaching, which I discovered very early in my life. However, I took it as my hobby not realizing how enthusiastic &amp; happy I felt while teaching. It is only until recently that I understood, how pursuing your passion &amp; acknowledging your strengths can open doors to several opportunities and of course to your financial freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Life will throw in several challenges &amp; difficulties however, it is upon us to emerge as <strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">Lions<\/strong> and not remain <strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">Sheep<\/strong> in the herd.
