Nobody to Somebody: A Key to Motivate the Readers

By Limaonen Imchen

Where are you standing today? Are the people around you encouraging you? Are they motivating you to persevere and push towards your goal, or are they discouraging you through words and actions, trying to hold you back or make you believe you cant do it?
Let us try to be people of positivity and start lifting one another up for our future and for the generations to come, rather than criticizing and discouraging one another. One word can make or break a person. We must be careful of what we say to people about their actions or dreams; try to encourage people to strive towards their goals. We never know, our encouragement for someone else may be just the thing they need to hear at that time.
The following few chapters are based on a few individuals that I have the privilege of knowing. These people are just normal people, just like you and I, but I wanted to share with you their stories. These people faced discouragement and struggles but never gave up on their visions. Let their testimonies be an example and encouragement for you; you are somebody and even you can go on to do great things.

Foreword

Writing has always been one of my passions. Even as a small boy I would dream that one day I'd be writing books and articles that people would read and be impacted by. My interest in writing books was motivated strongly when I attended creative writing workshops in Highfield, Kothagiri, Tamil Nadu. Our resource person at the workshops was a lady called Beulah, from New Zealand. Beulah taught us and encouraged us to start writing at any given opportunity in a way that was so motivating. After attending her workshops I began to think seriously about writing books.

Coming up with this book is the result of a conversation I had with my father. He was talking to me about having dreams for the future and about Martin Luther King's dreams. From then on I started reading anything I could get my hands on that was connected with dreams and perseverance. This became my main topic of encouragement when I spoke at different youth meetings, colleges and universities, not only in my home town of Mokokchung but throughout different towns, cities, states and countries. This also brought about the creation of my blog online, and caused me to start writing articles about it on different social media sites too.

I believe that
