WHAT’S YOUR STORY?

October 18th, 2007

Why do I say story and narrate a fiction??? Does that serve the purpose and are we small kids to hear and tell stories??? These are the common question arising in everybody’s mind.

Yes, Story does serve the purpose. And even this is true that we are always lead by the examples and they carry us towards the goals we perceive.

Did you ever give a thought, why we had some stories in English, Hindi and Marathi Languages at schools. The happenings, which are a part of our day to day lives, become the stories for life.

Some benefits of Stories:-

+ Kids get to know about the happenings and what the world is all about.

+ Impact:- Often Good Stories are narrated to kids at night, as Science has proved, the things which are told before sleeping has an PROCESSING effect at night, and they get instilled in ones mind forever.

+ Young generations do not want to believe Mythologies and some supernatural things. They want some thing that can actually go through and happen. Stories serve the purpose. Youngsters go ahead getting ready to face situations for their goal achievement.

+ Older Humans have seen the world, and at the end of their working age, they loose all the motivations and inspirations. Stories lead by examples and inject a fascination for their hobbies and likings.
