This story from a famous motivator and I thought of write and share …
Two kids name Sam and mac used to stay in a village. Sam was 10 year and mac was 6-year-old. They were so close that they never like to stay away from each other. They used to go to school together, play together etc. One evening both decided to visit nearby firm house. While roaming, accidently Sam fell into a well. Mac was so disappointed after seeing this but he did not lose hope. He immediately picked the rope lied beside the well and thrown one end into well keeping another end in his hand. He guided Sam to hold and keep on pulling the other end of rope. After a few min of struggle Sam came out and thanked Mac for same.
Now both rushed towards the village and narrated the entire story. Not a single people in the village believed them and some told it as a self-made story. How it would be possible for a 6 years’ boy to pulled out a who is much elder then him.
In the same village, a person name Uncle Maxwell, considered to be very intelligent. He was treated as an advisor in the village. Both the kids went to him and narrated the entire story.
He really believed in the incident and called the other people who were not ready to believe. Uncle Maxwell explained, yes it did possible... and I find only reason and that is “No one was there to tell boy that he cannot do” …
This is what happens with all of us in real life. Since the childhood parents, teachers, society teaches us… and it always in mind what can we do and don’t. They simply control over our abilities...
Thanks for reading !! Please suggest the improvement area..

thank you for sharing this story. an interesting one and it immediately reminded me of this New York Times article which i reviewed for this website. whenever you have time, check it out
I think there must be "saving", not "same" in the end of this sentence "After a few min of struggle Sam came out and thanked Mac for same."
Thank you very much! I like this kind of stories! This story shows us that sometimes we can overcome ourselves. And we can go beyond what is possible!
Sanjib, main kiya karega? If you are a doctor or a lab technician, companies will have you at once. If you are a novelist, it will take years to be appointed anywhere.
Thanks Dara for the reading the story. And a wonderful comment . Time has changed now. Let's help kid to identify his her own capabilities...and move on..
Bahut acha hei, Sanjib. You know! My daughter is studying Translation. I want her to study any scientific material, medicine, pharmacy or lab majors, but she told me that she did not like them all. I told her being a doctor or a pharmacist can easily get a job. Her final answer, (dad, leave me to choose.) Thanks Sanjib for sharing a wise story.
