Motivational Stories from Around the World
After retiring from a five-decade-long career as an eye surgeon, a patented inventor of ophthalmic surgical instruments, and an author of ocular pharmacology textbooks, my father Dr. Kamal Kumar Sengupta finally found some time to invest in his inborn talent of motivational storytelling. A gift that he probably passed on to me through his genes, but unfortunately never got a chance to use for himself. So, I requested him to narrate intriguing tales from across the globe as a guest author that will inspire future generations to experience the world, explore ideas, and follow their dreams. Hope you like them!
Today I’m going to tell you a monster story - a monster who ruined many cities, towns, and countries, and even wiped out two complete civilizations namely the Mayas and the Incas. Gradually the monster tightened its grip on Eurasia, America, and the Pacific, and unleashed epidemics that claimed thousands of lives. Can you guess the monster? Yes, you are right. The name of this monster is ‘Smallpox!’
