Read this small article which starts with a small bird and talks about the facts of life
It was a lovely evening with a cool breeze around. I was sitting under a tree at the river bed and was having a feel of the weather around. Suddenly, I saw a small sparrow arriving there from nowhere. It was carrying a small dry stem with it's nose. Instead of enjoying the weather around, my total concentration turned towards it and I started watching it's activities camly. After watching it for few minutes, I understood that it was trying to build a small nest for itself on the tree. It was trying to build a nest on it's own by bringing stems, dry grass from somewhere. You would not believe that for the 10 attempts atleast, all it's material fell down and it flew away to bring a new one. Finally, after 2-3 hours, it's nest took a shape. I was amazed looking at the patience of that bird. Even though the material slipped from it's nose and fell down, it didn't give up. It tried, tried and tried forever. Finally, it's dreams were realized.
Even though the bird flew away from there I was still left with it's thoughts. I slowly started walking towards my home where some of the few stories I heard about my friends sometime back flashed across my mind. My friend, a very young guy committed suicide when he couldn't find a job after several attempts. During his days, I tried to convince him about the abundance of job opportunities that he can find in this world. He always listened patiently and I used feel that I was able to install some confidence in him. But one bad day I had to hear about his suicide and I was shocked. I knew him as a young and energetic guy who always used to be in the fore front of the things and actively participate in all events. Not only my friend, many people around the world often go into a depressed mode as their thoughts are occupied by too many problems. And in that depressed mode they take such drastic steps. There are several cases where people go into an unconditional mode not responding to others. These cases do happen very often in this world and we tend to hear them via news channels, social media, etc.,
Now as I took more steps I started thinking more, why couldn't people draw some inspiration from this small bird who never gave up inspite of the huge target he has in front of him. Everyone has to realize that whatever the situations, challenges people face in this world, are gigantic at the beginning, but when they are taken phase by phase and broken down into pieces, they can be achieved quickly. None is a born intelligent and is a great learner. People learn from the happenings around, take help of elders and friends, learn from mistakes and keep trying to achieve their dreams. There are many inspirational stories around us where we can read and take a leaf out of them. Never worry that you are an under achiever, keep trying until you succeed. Inspire yourself and inspire others!!
