I am always awed by the attitude and confidence of some people who do what they say rather than those who say what they do! The former needs more confidence in oneself than the latter. Building up of confidence in oneself is perhaps one of the toughest mind exercises that one could pursue.
As a part of community service which has to be done through my college, I had once been to a deaf and dumb school to help the students there in writing their exams! I was flabbergasted looking at the way those little buds projected themselves to the outside world- with so much confidence and courage in emphasizing their stand in whatever they do. That was the moment I realized that the almighty is never merciless. He creates every human being with some specialty or the other. It is up to each one of us to discover ourselves.
There was this little girl whom I had to help with her lessons. But, I would say that she helped me in learning my lessons- the lesson of life! In one of her exams, unfortunately she could not complete the paper within the stipulated time. As a result she was losing five precious marks. When I apologized to her, she said those words of confidence which made me dumbstruck for few seconds. She said “ Akka ( meaning sister), that’s totally fine! It is after all a matter of five marks. Anyway I am going to get 95% which is a very decent score.” I had no words to speak except few droplets of tears rolling down my cheeks.
This incident taught me that any person whom we come across in life might become our teacher. No wonder people say, “life is a lesson! We learn it when we unravel it!”
