Why is my daughter so strong?

Have you watched this inspiring TED talk  by Yousafzai -  Malala's dad -please do!






"Why is my daughter so strong?” Yousafzai asks. “Because I didn’t clip her wings." Indeed a lesson that many a people in this patriarchal society will do good to learn - just let your wife, sibling, daughter, friend be. A simple answer to a question that sadly hounds quite a few gals- ladies even today.

Linking this to WT fest of words day Day 2. The task for the day is "Answer a question".


PS: for those of you who love your books,  I will definitely recommend "I am Malala" the inspiring story of the father- daughter who Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban

    She is truly an amazing kid. Some people are just born to be great. She chose her parents well.

    Your post speaks volumes about her. Plan to read the book soon. Malala is an inspiration.

    I read the book some time back and the most amazing thing was the attitude of both Malala and her father. Yes we need more of them.

    Blessed to have a father like that myself. And I pray that my daughter will say the same one day!
