2024-06-30 10:49:02Life is not as hard as most people consider it to be. Actually, it's a matter of our fulfillment and performance and how much we expect from ourselves. To Vicky, life is not hard at all. What do we do if we have nothing to do? Everybody needs to do something, whether they like it or not. It's their work that keeps them going in life. It also helps others to keep doing their everyday jobs. No barber can cut their own hair. Not every job can be done by everyone.
So, everybody has to do something to earn a living. Now, it's up to you how you perform your duties and obligations. It means you should do it or not do it; if you do it, then do it nicely. Then you won't find it hard. People will love you if you love your job. That's a secret of happiness, too.
"Oh my God, how would I survive in such a malpractice?" Vicky often found himself lost in thought, unable to help but lie in bed and cry. After his parents' passing, he was left with grim future, no means to support himself and his seven siblings.
"How can I earn a living and continue my education?" He tried to think more reasonably, but couldn't. His scared worries overwhelmed him like a nightmare. He needed some reasonable means to survive, but he had nothing to do but cry, despite having plenty of time. His racing heart weakened his postures sometimees.
"Dear Vicky, I want to ask you something." "Yes, please?" Fortunately, he ran into a former classmate at the barber shop. The question his friend asked changed Vicky's life forever. It was a ray of hope in his journey ahead. "Vicky, I want to change my field of study. What should I opt for? I'm struggling with my current subjects."
Vicky suggested alternative subjects to his friend, one by one. Finally, he chose those subjects that Vicky was studying in college. The very next question became a ray of hope in his life. "Who will teach me these subjects?" Vicky answered this question, but he refused to join any private tuition elsewhere. It was hard for him to manage also. He requested Vicky to coach him on these subjects, including his favourite one, "English".
It was just the beginning of a new era in Vicky's life, and he had got a way to survive. After a few days, there was an addition of one more student with his elder brother who was studying in school. This made Vicky more active and excited. By the end of the month, when he tried to pay Vicky for his services, Vicky refused. "Take it, sir. You deserve it, please."
Hesitatingly, Vicky accepted, and within a short period, there was an increase in the number of pupils one by one. It made Vicky very happy and excited. With the passage of time, Vicky got more and more students to teach because there were none to teach at the college level. He started teaching girls and boys in his locality, and parents requested him to teach their kids.
Though it was a good start, it gave him the opportunity to earn a living, and he could easily manage his educational expenses. "Can you please teach my daughter?" she asked. "She's in her second year and wants to improve her English." "Sure," Vicky replied.
The mother was more interested in Vicky than her daughter's studies, and Vicky sensed her intentions but tried to politely decline. However, the mother persisted. Meanwhile, another student joined the group, who was jealous of the daughter and often tried to tease her. One day, he started arguing with her brother, and their quarrel escalated into a physical fight. Vicky had to intervene to resolve the situation.
Vicky's life was changing, and he was becoming a beacon of hope for many students in his locality. His sublime dedication and passion for teaching had brought a novelty in his life, and he was finally finding his good footing.
Despite the power of challenges he faced, Vicky remained resolute and focused on his goals. He continued to preach and inspire his students, and his reputation as a great teacher had a good start spread.
Vicky's experience, got a fame of testament to the power of resilience and determination, and a reminder that with hard work and dedication, anyone can overcome adversity and achieve one's cherished dreams.
