    I want to share a story of wisdom, power and silent strength of a woman. What is a woman? To find the answer a man set out from his home. On his way he saw a woman drawing water from a well. He approaches her and asks for some water to drink. The woman gladly offers the water. After drinking the man asked her, “can you tell me what a woman is? Hearing this the woman started shouting loudly, help! Help! Her cries draw the attention of the villagers who ran toward the well. The man puzzled, asked her “why are you doing this? The woman replied, “so that the villagers can come here beat you and teaching you a lesson”. Terrified the man pleaded, “please forgive me if I asked you a wrong question. At that moment the woman took the water pot place near the well and poured all the water over herself, drenching completely. By then, the villagers have reached the well. The villagers asked the woman what had happened she said, “I was drowning in the well, and this kind man saved me. If weren’t for him, I would lost my life today.” Hearing this the villagers praised the man, lifted him on their shoulders, honoured him and even give him a reward. The villagers left, the woman turned to the man and asked “Now, do understand what a woman is? By then, the man realizes the answer… What you think the man realized. What was you thinking same as the man in the story. I want to know what you think after reading the story. Please commit below of what your thought. What do you think the man realized?

       A woman strength doesn’t lie on her physical power but in her wisdom. Intuition and presence of mind. She can sense danger before it arrives. She can turn the situation around with a single act. That’s her strength. In real life a good woman can build a man’s world from nothing. She becomes his peace, his strength, his reason to grow. But if a woman is wronged or hurt, she also holds the power to bring that same man to his knees without lifting a finger. A woman is a force with the power to turn a man’s life into heaven or make it hell. That’s why a woman never be understated certainly never disrespected. Behind her silence, there is a storm. Behind her kindness there’s fierce loyalty. Respect her not because demands it but she deserves it.
