“There is a beautiful story about the native Americans. One day a child belonging to that tribe asks its elders in the family, ‘tell me a small story about good and bad.’ One of the wise old man obliges and begins the story, ‘Inside every human being there is a good wolf and a bad wolf, the one that you feed the most wins”’ said Mr. Saif Sultan, an NLP practitioner, life coach management and trainer.
