Work your fingers to the bone and Entrust

By - Shravani

Hello Friends,  I am Shravani, and I want to share few of mine  experiences with you, that completely changed my life and my way of thinking.  Here  I would like to mention two incidents. One that occurred with me and the other with my friend but these experiences actually changed our lives.

The first incident happened with my friend who is a medical student. That time she was in class 12^th . She was given a recognition for her hard work, intelligence and punctuality by teachers during junior college. Teachers would always appreciate her and help her in her studies.

But there was one black sheep in the teaching fraternity. This teacher resented the compliments earned by her. Despite the fact that she had a potential to excel academically it happened that out  of vengeance , the teacher instead of capitalising  on the positive side gave more emphasis on the shortcomings on her part with sole aim to demoralise her. In a situation like this, the vindictive attitude of the teacher is detrimental .

Thus, she was very much depressed and helpless. Looking at her in depression, even we thought that she would never come out of this terrible depression that seized he then. But because of her well-wishers within the peers who used to constantly motivate her and also  our  teachers who held  very high esteem in her , advised  to wink at the scathing comments made by the teacher in question.

The advice rendered by the friends and well-wishers did help her to tide over the crisis. And thus she took her lessons very seriously, deciding that one  should not get influenced by any extraneous comments which were aimed to mar her progress.

From this incident, all of us learnt a very important thing i.e. there are people who always try to pull your legs but don’t   fall for them. Always your hard work will give the results. “Hardwork Never Fails”.

Here, there is one more incident which happened with me when I was in Mumbai. And now,  when I recall that incident I feel that before trusting any one you should think twice. Trust on any person plays an important role. Be careful when you trust.  I often refer myself as the luckiest traveler, because till now, I have very good experiences while travelling but, travel can be challenging, stressful and even bad things can happen.

So going ahead with the incident, it happened that, I had to catch a bus running to Goa at 11 pm from Vashi Toll naka. So, the bus stop was far away from my place and also it was on  a highway from where it was nearly impossible to cross

the road and reach the other side. So,  I was not finding any rikshaw and  no rikshaw driver was ready to drop me near the stop on the highway and I was requesting them to drop me as it was too late at night.

Then, after requesting n number of rikshaw drivers, I met one who was ready to drop me the other side. When I told my destination, he said he knows a shortcut from where he can drop me the other side of the road and even I agreed to him as I was running late and had to catch the bus on time.

So, when he dropped me near that shortcut, I was shocked to see the place. There were no lights on the street and the place was very bushy. But still, I decided to trust him and go with him. But I was very much scared. When I reached the bus stop and saw people there, I thanked God that he had sent a very good person to help me.

Later on, he said some touchy words, he said “Didi, thanks for trusting me , and even I have sisters at home so I understood your dilemma before trusting me. But never trust people such way”. Always think before trusting them.

And I was shattered with these words and this incident changed myself completely. I was speechless with his behavior. After this incident, I realized that there are still good people in this world whom you can trust.

From the above two incidents we understand  that -

The  respect is earned,

Honesty is appreciated, 

Trust is gained and 

loyalty is returned. 

Also from the first incident we understand that you should always work hard to achieve your goals and never listen to people who demotivate you.
