Boy to Businessman
Boy to Businessman:
A teenage boy from a village moved to the city for a job to support his family. He applied for a job in a big firm.
After some days, he went to attend the interview. He successfully cleared all the tests.
Hiring manager, “You are hired, give me all your details for further processing. Also make sure that your bike is in good condition, as you have to do a lot of traveling to meet the Customers”.
The boy replied, “Sir, but I don’t have a bike with me.”
Hiring Manager, “Without a bike, you will not get this job. You can leave now.”
The boy left the place thinking about what to do next. He had little money with him that could feed him only for the next few days.
But he does not want to return to his village without a job. He was confident in getting a job.
While he was thinking, he came across a big vegetable market. Then an idea sparked.
He decided to buy vegetables from the market with the available money. Then went to sell those vegetables door to door by walk. By the end of the evening, he sold all those vegetables and had a good profit.
He gained confidence that he could earn from this.
From then, everyday morning, he will go to the vegetable market to buy fresh vegetables and sell them door to door till he finishes his stock.
He continued his hard work every day, and within years, he developed his business. Soon he becomes one of the biggest food chain retailers.
After some years, one of his new friends visited his big house, where cars were in his garage.
Seeing this, his friend asked, “You have a good collection of cars, and do you have any bike collections.”
The man replied, “I never bought any bike for myself.”
In a surprise, he asked, “Why did you not buy a bike?”
The man replied, “If I had a bike with me, I wouldn’t have had these cars.”
Moral of the story:
If we wanted something and never got it, we should never lose our hope in that.
We should continue our hard work because we do not know what destiny has in store.
