‘Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm’ ‘Fall seven times and stand up eight’. These are the common proverbs about success that everybody knows and uses. But, to many it is very difficult to practise in life. That’s why when the results are announced at least a couple of failed students unfortunately commit suicide. As we see more and more of these types of incidents, we fear and doubt whether the new generation becomes too vulnerable to face failures. But, listening to the words of a fourth standard student Fayiz’s genuine words that echo confidence, the consoling words that tell the need of perseverance, our fear disappears and it seems to be an amazing Oasis to our deserted and disappointed mind.
Nine-year-old Mohammed Fayiz
wants to share one of his performances and wants to get as many likes from
friends and relatives. Every day he sees hundreds of boys and girls of his age
prove their talents through their songs, speeches, and drawings. So, one day he
took his father’s phone and stood in front of it and began to say how to make a
flower from a piece of paper. Though he practised and performed many times
earlier, he failed in front of the camera. Though he slightly disappointed, he
began to say, “for some it would be ready, for some
it may not; Mine is not ready, but I'm least bothered....”. However, he
completed his video but decided not to share it.
His elder sisters
happened to see it and wondered. They showed it to their parents and friends.
Yes, it was genuine and inspiring one. So, it became viral. ‘Milma’ decided to
use his inspiring phrase in their advertisement “for
some it would be ready, for some it may not; But the tea would turn right if
the milk used is Milma......” and gifted him a Television along with
cash prize. He donated a share of that amount to the CM’s Covid relief fund and
decided to meet the expenses of the marriage of his neighbour girl who is poor,
with the rest of the amount. Even the CM mentioned about his inspiring words
and deeds in his press meet. His parents, relatives and friends are very proud
of that boy.
Yes! It is a thing to be proud
of. He has proved the world that success is not just what you accomplish in
your life; it’s about what you inspire others to do. Child is the father of the
Man. Yes! This child has taught us the great lesson: Success is not the key to
happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you do, you will
be successful.
