⠀
But what was different was his mindset and that of his family. ⠀ ⠀

People soon fell in love with the way he used to speak and this made him realize that although God hasn’t given him arm or leg but has surely given him a pure heart and an inspiring voice which leads him into the career of public speaking.⠀ ⠀
