The power of positive thinking

Today I met one person as part of my routine business activity. When he was in his mother's womb as a foetus, she contracted a special type of measles. This affected the foetus also and so he was born deaf. Both the ears were affected to about 80%. As a baby he did not turn his head when any sound was created around him. Crying was the only mode of communication. All the people around him lost their hope except his mom. She believed very strongly that one day her son would be able to hear the words spoken by her.

She continued to speak to him just as how a mother would speak to a normal baby. She made him to observe her lip movements and slowly and steadily he started speaking some of the words. At the age of six he started listening and speaking. Then he was given a hearing aid machine and he started going to school.

He used to sit in the first row and started listening to sound more so by observing the mouth of the teacher and the hearing aid also helped him to improve his listening skill.He completed his post graduation in Bio Tech and is now a Manager in a very reputed pharma company. He still wears a small hearing aid in his ear which has got no wires.

The way he speaks today and the way he listens to what others speak is really great. He is now a very good listener and speaker in the true sense. He is more abled then the average people like us.Had his mother lost hope in him and stopped speaking to him then he would not have become what he is now. It is her sincere, firm and positive belief that has brought him all the success he achieved in his life. This is the power of positive thinking.

One question which came to my mind after speaking to him was ----

  • Am I a good listener ?
  • Is Veera really a good listener ?
