Do you feel you have a problem? Then Read this...

We always seem to think that each of us have the most difficult problems, challenges to face when compared to others. But you may change your mind after you read 'Billy Mclaughin's problem. For those of you who do not know about Billy here is a small profile of this great man - Billy McLaughlin is a chart-topping guitar virtuoso and composer who has astounded audiences since the 1980's with his complex, rhythmic music and uniquely personal style. He has been travelling across various Accenture locations to share his inspirational story with us. Now lets see the problem Billy has - He developed Dystonia (its no country in Eastern Europe) but a name of a neurological problem which mean he could never ever play the guitar. When he got to know this what do you think he did? Shattered, became disillusioned, lost focus and hope, lost everything....is that what you think he did? Yes, you are right. He did all these things but the difference is he did not do this forever. One fine day he decided to solve his problem. He started learning guitar with his left hand. After 3 odd years of practice amounting to just about 9000 hours he mastered it and today play left handed guitar with such passion and precision that leaves his audience crying for more! Now think about the problems you have. Some of you may even stop calling them problems because it is so small. Can you even imagine what strength it must take to have the world at your feet, one fine day you wake up and see all is lost and you have to build from scratch what is lost and build it using skills (in his case left hand) that you have never had. I hope you are inspired reading Billy's story and use newer ways to solve the problems you may have......
