Some years ago I spent a few days in Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda in
central Africa. During this visit, I happened to meet a GujaraU Indian, who
was living in Kigali as an immigrant. He was running a cloth shop in the city. .
One day I visited his shop and found that he was able to deal with his customers in fluent and understandable English. He Seemed to-have_a good working knowledge of the language. One of his friends told me that there an interesting story behind his English. When this Gujarati Indian first came to Kigali, and opened his shop, he knew no English. But a large number of his customers were English-speaking, so he felt compelled to try to speak in English,
During the early days, his English was far from good. One day someone said to him, "If you are not in position to speak correct English, Why are you trying to speak it ?" The shopkeeper simply replied, "I speak incorrect English so that I may be able to speak correct English."
And so it came about . In two year's time he was able to deal with •his customers in the English language. When I met him, he was fluent in English as a means of communication; and for a shopkeeper that was good enough.
Therefore , 'where there's a will there's way. If you have a strong enough will to achieve something, you will do sooner than Eater. Sh ong Will itself successful schooling as you learn from experience, and for a sincere person, experience is a successful teacher.
