My dream: To make my life count

-Asjad Hussain

“Life is no brief candle for me.It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment,and I want to make it burn it as brightly as possible before handling it to the future generations.”

                                                                                                                           -George Bernard Shaw       

On 11^th October in the year 1997,God bestowed me an opportunity to prove my worth.The opportunity which have been bestowed upon me is not to be wasted.I aspire to make the most out of it and prove my worth as a true opportunist.And to make my aspiration come true I have to reach the zenith of success.And I can only succeed when I will dream.The first step toward success id to dream bigger and aim higher.The bigger I shall dream and the higher I shall aim,the closer I will find myself to success.

One can only succeed when he/she is capable of dreaming.And that is why I dream a lot.I have many dreams that I want to be turned into reality.But I am no ‘Aladdin’ who could summon a genie every time to make my dreams come true.To turn my dreams into reality,I have to work hard with 100% honest and 200% commitment.

Dreams are not just to be seen,they are to be fulfilled.Till today,I have dreamed many thing many times.At the age of 7,I have hallucinated myself involved in a sword fight.At 11,I have fantasized myself as ‘SUPERMAN’,wearing my underpants over my pants,fighting all the bad goons and saving the world every other day.At 14,as adolescence came to the scene,I had even dreamed of marrying the most beautiful girl.But then,as I grew up I realized the difference between fantasizing and actually dreaming.Now I actually dream.

My first and foremost dream is to become a ‘HUMAN BEING’ not just a ‘HOMO SAPIEN’.Everyone of us belongs to the primate species from which we have evolved but only a few of us belong to the elite group of people who can sympathize with other,who are selfless and can even sacrifice one’s own happiness for someone else’s good.And this elite group of people who possess all these few of the many qualities are known as ‘HUMANS’.

To relive the pain of the needy by helping them,to make everyone around me happy,to be generous and kind-hearted,to become a humanitarian and a philanthropist  are my ambitions on the social and spiritual front.I want people to share their agonies and desolation with me.I want to be regarded and portrayed as an epitome of generosity,truth and humility.Summing everything up,I just want to become a ‘Human Being’.

On the academic front I dream of pursuing a degree in the field of medicine.A degree in the field of medicine and life as a medical practitioner is all what I seek.I want to cave a niche of my own in the society and start a legacy of my own.I want my name to be synonymous with word like ‘SUCCESS’,’PERFECTIONIST’ & ’RESPECT’.To be remembered by the posterity till eternity is my ambition.

But everything is easier said than done.There will be many hurdles that I will have to face.I will have to face this cruel world.People will criticize me and will treat me unsympathetically but what I must learn is to be persistent.These hurdles are posed by others and are not as precarious as the hurdles posed by myself .The biggest hurdle that I will have to face are my own desires.The desires which give us immense pleasure but take away from us our priceless time.If I can suppress the desire of hanging out with my friends,the desire of enjoying an Indo-Pak fixture,the desire of flicking through the pages of a Chetan Bhagat’s novel then I can have pure dominion over my mind and then no one can deter me from turning my dreams into reality.And if I can turn my dreams into reality then only I can make this life count.

                                                                                

Be POSITIVE,no matter whatever happens!

Many of us may not believe the presence of HUMANITY in HUMANS.But HUMANITY is something which can never be lost.One may take time to find it but if continued he/she will certainly find HUMANITY in each and everyone of us.

'You  must no lose faith in HUMANITY.HUMANITY is an ocean;If a few drop of the ocean are dirty,the ocean does not become dirty.'

Always remember these words by the father of our nation.

Tribute to the selfless Gurus!

Today I woke up at 7 and logged into FB. To my astonishment, the newsfeed was flooded with tons of ‘Happy Teachers’ Day’ posts and then I recalled the date and realized that it is the day of our GURUS.

A very Happy Teachers’ Day to all my teachers, mentors and everyone who in anyway has taught me anything. Teachers have always been very special and captivating. They are innovative, inspiring, committed, creative, compassionate, thoughtful, caring, intelligent, persevering, energetic and at last UNIQUE in their own way. Almost every adjective can ably describe a teacher who passionate towards his/her work and concerned about his/her students. And my GURUS at DPS Bhagalpur are no less.

They are the best. It’s not that they are the most knowledgeable and know everything (indeed they are very knowledgeable, but one person can’t know each and everything) but what they have is priceless and that is a vast array of experience. I owe a lot to them.

This is my 7^th year at DPS Bhagalpur and in all these years I came across many teachers and many teachers came across me too. Each and every teacher has helped me in a way or the other. They have been very supportive. There are innumerable number of occasions when my gurus made me to give my best when I was about to give up. They made me to stand up every time I fell.  

Be it the time when I was baffled and confused between the g (acceleration due to gravity) and G(universal constant) in Physics or the time when QBasic and C++  were eating me up or the time when I always got the pronunciation of the simple word ‘heart’ wrong(Rahman Sir knows it well!).These are few of the many instances where my teachers helped and I am really grateful to them. It’s because of them what I am now.

To my very talented GURUS and MENTORS, I express my gratitude and wish them a very very very Happy Teachers’ Day.

And to my fellow students, you could only read this because of your teachers. So, make sure that you wish your teacher and make them feel special not by your words instead by your actions.
