Once there were 2 boys. Both of them
studied in the same school and in the same college. After passing out their
college, both of them joined in the same company.
One out of the two being passionate
started his own venture. He started an IT company selling anti-viruses to
bigger software companies and in a matter of one year, he became wealthy.
Seeing this, the other guy also copied
him, thinking to turn his fortunes overnight and started to develop anti-virus
software, but, on the contrary, he suffered a big loss.
He thought that developing IT-related
products was not his cup of tea so he pooled his resources and opened up a
furniture company instead but like his previous venture, he was not able to
sell his products and the next month he quit.
He again thought to try his luck for one
last time and collected whatever resources he had and opened up a grocery store
but due to intense competition from the nearby grocery vendors and due to his
inability to make quick money as he had expected, he finally quit from his 3rd
venture as well.
He cursed himself for his bad luck. From
the next day onwards all his investors started to ask for their money and
threatened him to complain to the police if he didn’t return their money before
the stipulated time.
When he saw no other way to escape, he
decided to suicide. He messaged his friend wishing him a final goodbye.
His friend, who was now a
multi-millionaire, came rushing in to save his dear friend. He asked him that
what made him take such a drastic step and he replied; continued failure.
The rich guy laughed and asked him how
long he tried for a particular venture and he replied that he gave up in a
month because he was not able to earn like him.
Then the rich guy told him that he too
failed many times when he started his business but he didn’t lose hope and was
focussed on making it big.
He hugged his friend and instantly gave
him a cheque so as to settle all his dues with his investors and also promised
to invest in his next venture provided he doesn’t lose his focus and strives
hard.
He promised him and soon started a taxi
service. He couldn’t make any profit for the first month but he didn’t give up
this time rather he tried to find the shortcomings and corrected them.
Slowly and steadily his company began to
grow, his profits increased dramatically and after a period of 5 months, he
opened up his services in 3 other cities.
Hence, he learned that it was not that
his friend was born lucky or his business was God-gifted, rather he was
passionate and focussed at what he did which was the reason for his success.
