It is important that one takes up a bold step in life and
stands out differently and victorious in life. This comes with a positive
attitude in life and also when one decides to take things ahead with firm
determination and strength. This comes by making the essential changes in life
and taking up bold steps which might change things forever.
The bold steps taken in life might seem to be riskier at
first step but they are definitely bond to teach a lot of things in life and
also the most important lessons of life are learnt through the risks that we
come to take in life. These steps might take us to great heights and make us
stand at a point where we want and wish to see ourselves in life.
There have been times when I have made an attempt to take
the small steps in life and in most of the cases they have turned out to be
fruitful. Also, when there had been failure from the chance I took, it was an
important lesson learning experience where I got to learn from the failures.
The time that I am going to tell here that taught me to be
bold, strong and determined in my actions was when I was 15 years old and my
father had to see the separation from his brothers due to family disputes and
he stood alone to feed seven mouths in the family, without having a single
penny at his disposal.
Initially I did not understand the criticality of the
situation. Also, my father was strong enough to not let us know of the
situation and keep my mother and my siblings in the comfort zone. Just in two
days, I could sense the whole situation. I decided to go with my father and
help him with his work. He scolded me so much and even raised his hands for the
first time in life, asking me to go back and continue with my studies.
I did not let that affect me, and decided to give up on my studies,
because it was getting difficult with each passing day. I went to school for
just 2 days in a week. My attendance started seeing the lowest possible marks
in the school. Also, my performance in the tests started declining. But I was
determined to make both the ends of my family meet.
One fine day, I convinced my father about my decision. He
hugged me and decided me to teach the business lessons right from that day. He
did not talk to me for quite a long time, but I finally could make up mind
regarding my decision.
Within no time, things began to change with the hard labour
of my father and with the assistance that I gave to my father. We started
reaching new heights with every passing day.
This was one bold step that I took which changed the life of
mine and my family. By God’s grace everything is so well till date and I am
grateful that I could take that chance in life at that time, which served my
family.
