If our stories make history then what we do with our lives are the stuff of stories. The life of Mahatma Gandhi and his practice of non-violent protest is a piece of history that inspired Dr. Martin Luther King, who in turn changed the course of American history. Similarly, the story of Dr. Ralph Smedley created Toastmasters International which changed countless lives, one at a time. Our stories, however small, nevertheless, touches the lives of those around us. So let us be conscious that as we create our story we are creating our history.
