Do you remember how your favourite story was shared with you?
As Rudyard Kipling from the Collected Works shared, things told in the form of stories are not easily forgotten!
Just imagine we if could share anything – history, news, lessons in a form of a story, how easy would it be for us to remember them.
This week, as you converse with someone, try sharing it as a story and observe how memorable it will be for them.

They focus on feeding information instead of providing value or provoking thoughts. Weaved between the lines of every good story is a moral or a shift in perspective that leaves the readers to ponder on at their own leisure.
But we’ve all got to start somewhere. As with any skill, practice makes perfect. With each story that you craft, you’ll get a better understanding of the flow and what works. It is a journey and a story, in and of itself. 😉
Did you start off writing in a highly factual way as well? Do you want to be better at emoting when storytelling — to move people and touch their hearts? Drop us a DM. We have something exciting in the pipeline that we want to share.

One of the most difficult challenges anybody could go through is the loss of a child, especially when your child had so much potential.
In the latest episode of the #10YearChallenge, we talk to Lesli Berggren, who lost her son Nils, to a rare form of cancer. She and her son went through a lot of suffering, a lot of ups and downs.
And when he passed away she thought she lost everything.
But through the last ten years, Lesli found that all her pain shaped her into who she was meant to be, and helped her find her purpose in life.

Imagine finding a boyfriend when you go overseas to study. You both decide to come back to Singapore to look for jobs, and you even invite him to stay with you in your parents' house in the meantime.
However, he doesn't find a job and you realise, as he drinks to cope, that he is a serious alcoholic.
Ashley Low found herself in this situation, when she was at a pivotal point in her life, trying to make her photography career take off.
Listen to the soundbite to see how she dealt with it all.
