It is easy to read motivational books and quotes. Anyone can listen and watch the videos but what actually matters is applying what we learn in our lives, and leave an everlasting impact in someone’s life, by enabling people think positive about the world.
Let me share a true story with you guys.
I didn’t know much about reading or writing, my class fellows and some great people helped me.
When I was in school, my 4th grade class monitor was always available to note the classwork on my notebooks for me. My teacher didn’t realize that being a high myopic it’s not easy for me to copy from the board. I couldn’t cope with the rest of the peers, because the teacher said everyone wants to sit in the front row, why should we fix a special seat for her! I can’t forget the way my teacher tortured my class fellow for helping me. The flashbacks still haunt me, the way that teacher pushed my classmate against a metal cupboard, continuously, until she started bleeding and almost fainted. The teacher punished the pupil ruthlessly, only because she noted the classwork for me.
My class mate endured the pains daily and her efforts changed my life. I still remember her in my prayers. She must be a doctor somewhere, as I remember, she told me that was studying medical when I last met her last time, and I hope she is doing her best in saving humanity.
We don’t need people like the above mentioned teacher, who make lives hell, there are plenty of them out there, the world need those caring and compassionate people, like my classmate, who can make lives better.
It’s possible! This piece of writing, which you are reading, is a proof of the efforts of those who made this happen! It is the due to the teachers who worked on me and those supportive people who took the trouble to help make a change.
If you have the capacity of helping a person, then do it and leave a mark on the face of the planet!
The choice is yours; either extend a helping hand, listening ears and a shoulder to cry on, or let people die in distress!
