Yesterday’s incident is still fresh in my mind. Back to home I was in bus, the signal turned red and the traffic came to a halt. I saw a young girl in her early teens. She came to my window asking me to buy towels from her. For a second or so I went deep in a thought and something inside forced me to start a conversation with that bonny girl while my bus mates were busy in there own chats. I asked her the reason of working in this premature age and my curiosity grew since I found her to be an indigenous one, who are very rare in such a buisness. I asked her this question and the reply came in a very innocent tone “we are poor people;we struggle to survive if I don’t earn a few rupees we won’t get the supper” . Something horrible pricked my conscience, I could make out the pain and suffering in her eyes. She was not lying, the remorse was very much evident on her pale grown face. Yes! I could figure it outcome and I always wanted to be more philanthropic, it took me no time to unzip my bag and take note and hand it over to the girl. For me it was a mere paltry note lying in my bag but for her it was a meal! I did get good prayers in return. But the incident utterly shook my mind the other way round. It made me realise the importance of working and it put me in a thought. How important is it for a person to earn? With a sigh I realised that truly. Gardens are not made while sitting in shade ” life is never so easy to live, it makes us come across thousands of puddles, showers of thorns and difficulties and then too we are never satisfied in life. Life becomes tougher with years moving ahead, every minute there is a new problem and every second life poses a new question.
Things never come your way, don’t be the one whose direction is governed by the wind, but be the one to show direction to the wing around. Someone has rightly said “harkat-kar-Zi-barkat-maile” (work hard and Allah taala is there to give you the fruit) . Do every task with an actual desire to fulfill it. Sluggishness, lethargic and lazy nature is gifted to every human but the heroic job is to push them away and overshadow them by working hard. Life is never so freezing for a hard worker, one should watch out for his goals, strive and fight to achieve them, be convulsively regular in every job undertaken and success shall surely kiss your feet.
Sincerity, dedication and a strong commitment in any work are key ingredients in being successful in life. Life tricks bad people, but eases the voyage of hard workers through! One should take inspiration from ants who in unity, work hard to collect food and then enjoy their meals to the fullest. It is strictly advisable to work hard and give up the growing vandalising nature, of which we are in a habit of. Life is never about resting in peace rather it means working to be successful and being successful to enjoy! Enjoyment, riches and readies are earned only when one works from dusk to dawn to get them his way. Otherwise life is an exploding nuclear bomb.
Life is to be accepted as a challenge, and one should be imperious in every walk of life, this brings a lot of fun and comfort on your life. Life is beautiful when a person holds his character. Money won’t help a person everywhere. Respect and dignity are the building blocks of a good life rest there are many millionaires in world.
Be winsome and virtuous enough to be trusted upon, don’t take any strange oaths, be aware of illicit affairs and never swank about your own self let people do it for you.
Know your responsibilities in the world, succeed by working very hard. Opportunities and avenues will never come while you are resting in your ponderous bed, enjoying Koffee with Karan! Stop being a TV addict and Internet addict and believe that television and Internet is an invasion. Stop being fat headed rather be strictly honest in any job undertaken. Strive hard, no race is longer to run, no path taken will let you fall in a dilemma of having chosen the other side rather you will be proud to reflect your bright future by having chosen the righteous path of hard work and dedication.
Savour all the seven stages of life with diligence and self assurance, comport yourself in a decorous manner, slouch hard to fulfill your ambitions. You will promisingly lie in the path of prosperity, satisfaction and uneventful hay day will be smiling at you!
