Which number of the 21 little people in the tree do you resonate with? Look at the picture before reading below.
This simple psycho-emotional test inspired by Pip Wilson's method can reveal interesting points about you.
Pip Wilson is a psychologist and trainer known worldwide for the very simple method in which he manages to help people find their maximum potential and balance in life. Pip Wilson also invented the Blob Tree method.
If you chose the little man 2 or 3, then you are an ambitious and confident person. You know that you will succeed all the time and that convenient situations will always come up to help you in your progress.
Little man number 1 is a self-assured person, content with his life and optimistic. He is an intelligent person, the capable should see in perspective.
Little man number 21 is a person who tries, but does not know how to find the best solutions for his life. He is a little man who must learn to ask for help from those around him and to give up his suspicious nature.
If you chose the little man 9, 19 or 4, it defines you as a non-social, suspicious and confident person. The number 19 man can have narcissistic inclinations and is envious of the success of others.
The number 4 little man gives up too quickly, does not trust his extraordinary potential. And the number 9 little man will do anything to prove that he is wonderful too, but it is easier to keep his lonely side, because in this way he justifies his mistrust in others.
Little people 7, 11, 12 characterize communicative people who know how to offer support to their friends. These people are characterized by a high emotional intelligence that helps them successfully deal with life situations. They have team spirit, they see the bright side and they find solutions all the time.
The number 5 little man is creative, loves life, enjoys every moment, love and knows how to be grateful to all the good things around him. This helps him to maintain a positive outlook and so he always has open doors to all the best!
The number 6 little man needs to feel loved, protected and safe. He is the kind of person who always falls in love with the wrong person, because of his u***d need for affection and love. This little man must learn to look more carefully for those who can help him in his evolution, and not those who do not understand his vulnerability.
The number 13 little man is filled with despair and the loss of hope. He must do his best to recalibrate himself to the tree of life and he can easily regain confidence in himself again, seeking the support of his loved ones!
The little people 16, 17 and 18 are optimistic, full of life, with team spirit, perform in any field and look at the challenges with detachment. The number 18 little man likes to feel loved and appreciated, and when he feels it, he becomes your best friend!
The number 14 little man is a soul, a philanthropist, he would do anything to help others. He is characterized by a lot of empathy and a ′′ great soul ". This little man should learn to take care of himself, not just others!
The 10, 15 and 20 men are winners. I love the taste of success, even if everyone has different ways to achieve it. The number 20 man is ambitious, confident and full of life, is an innovator and is not afraid to take risks. His detachment and passion bring him many achievements and satisfaction.
Little man number 10 is ambitious, but also very cautious. He is hardworking and determined, that's why he is successful, pretty much anything he wants. His ideas always stand out and he is appreciated in any environment. And the number 15 little man is motivated by the beauty of the road to success rather than the success itself. He is curious to know new things, to have new experiences, to meet people and to learn something from each one.
The number 8 little man is a dreamer and romantic. He likes to have some moments just to himself. This is how he regains his energy and the mood for life and socialization. It is good for the loved ones to understand their need for isolation and not to misconstrue it, to understand it and to leave the space it needs.

Babu Gogineni : A Lady Like No Other.

Muthulakshmi Reddy was born in 1886 in the princely state of Pudukottai in Tamilnadu. Her father was Narayanswami Iyer. Her mother was a Devadasi who, In case you don’t know, were women who were ostensibly “dedicated” to temple deities tasked with passing on the baton of the art of dance to the next generation. The grim reality was different. They were often subjected to exploitation and were considered prostitutes by the British government. It was actually worse than prostitution- no one chose to be a devadasi.

The prepubescent girl was initiated into the system by a religious ceremony, which ensured her permanent status as a concubine. She would have a male patron, but no rights to his surname or inheritance. Devadasis needn’t marry and were called, “Nityasumangali” - meaning immune to widowhood. It was a crass euphemism - after all, you can’t become a widow if you aren’t married.

Luckily for Muthulakshmi, her father was an academician and a school principal. A sole oasis in an otherwise barren desert. He gave her the power of education. The class in which she studied had 40 boys and 3 girls - separated by a screen. Even then, the parents of the boys objected, fearing their “innocent” sons would be ensnared by a prepubescent femme fatale. This may sound absurd, but this was a common trope in those days. One of the teachers resigned in protest. But her father stood with her and provided her a plank.

After attaining puberty, she was homeschooled, as was the tradition in those days. She wanted to change not just her destiny, but also those of others. She asked the Maharaja of Pudukottai for funds to study medicine. The stunned Maharaja gave her a princely sum of Rs.150 which was the much-needed escape velocity that changed her trajectory.

She became the first woman to enter Madras Medical College. She was studious and bagged several medals. When she wanted to take obstetrics and become a surgeon, the professors were shocked. Surgery, with its blood and gore, was considered a man thing then. Nevertheless, with characteristic persistence, she became an obstetrician. She started catering to the elite professionals first. However, a turning point happened soon.
Her sister developed re**al cancer and eventually died. Back then, cancer wasn’t known to the public as the emperor of maladies. Those who were unlucky enough to get it were considered doomed. No one wanted to spend on a lost cause. So Dr. Muthulakshmi took it upon herself to go to the UK and get trained in Royal Marsden hospital to manage cancer patients. She had a rare combination of strong roots and powerful wings.
She came back to Madras, but faced painful apathy about cancer.
She turned to the Women’s India Association - which helped fund, the first cancer hospital in Madras - the Adyar Cancer Institute. One day, three girls from Namakkal ran away from the Devadasi system and asked her, “Now what will happen to us? Where will we stay?”. She realized the dire problem and set about the long journey that would culminate in their emancipation.

She sheltered them, but not just them. She started the Avvai home. She met Sarojini Naidu and became a nationalist. Realizing the importance of political power, she went on to become the first woman to join the legislative council in British India. She was also the first woman, in the world, to become the Deputy President of a legislative council.

She met and married Sundara Reddy, with the condition that they will be equals. Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddy, faced two simultaneous battles: (i) finding land and funding for the cancer hospital, and (ii) liberation of the devadasis.

For the latter, she had to fight against the likes of Dr. Rajagopalachari. In a meeting when a speaker expressed solidarity with her “fallen sisters”, she famously thundered, “How dare you call them fallen sisters? Female chastity is impossible without male chastity. The men who exploited them were older and should be held responsible”. She knew they weren’t “fallen”, but “pushed”.
To Rajagopalachari and S Satyamurthi, she roared,” If you need someone to preserve the arts and culture, why don’t you leave the devadasis and send the women in your home?”. The stiff resistance would have wilted a lesser woman, but she was forged in fire. Her efforts bore fruit in both issues.

The cancer hospital grew slowly but steadily. She asked everyone who would listen for funds, including King George V. Today it’s a world-class institute, giving life to many. Her statue stands there, like a guardian angel of cancer patients. On December 5,1947, at long last, the Madras Presidency passed the bill preventing the dedication of young girls as devadasis.

The laurels followed. She was awarded Padma Bhushan by the Indian government. The Tamil Nadu government has named the pregnancy benefits scheme after her. There is a road in Chennai named after her.

Her story is the triumph of grit over fate. It’s a reminder that we can script our own destiny, regardless of where we start. Neither social ostracism nor the strictures of colonial India could conquer her will. She turned life’s proverbial lemons into a lemonade spring, that continues to give even today.

She’s the hero, that our daughters need to know about.

George McLaurin, the first black man admitted to the University of Oklahoma in 1948, was forced to sit in a corner away from his whites. But his name remains on the honor list as one of the top three students in the university. Here are his words:
′′Some colleagues looked at me like I was an animal, no one gave me a word, the masters seemed to be there for me, and didn't take my questions. But I devoted myself so much that afterwards they started looking for me to explain and clarify their questions".
′′The only weapon capable of transforming the world... is EDUCATION′′
