For many of us who have read this story in their text books,
know that once a King cut his finger by accident and then later escaped a
threat to his life only due to that wounded finger and for rest of those who
haven’t heard of it, here’s my own story on how I realized this fact.
Sometimes sitting in my room alone, I start thinking over
various times in my life, one of the many reasons for me loving to live alone
rather than having roommates etc. Just today when I was in one of these lonely
situations, I was working on my laptop and started thinking on how I started
working on my website and how, for the first time in my life, I was doing what
I loved. Then I started thinking of my laptop that I lost in January this year
(Rest in peace L
). How I lost that first love of mine due to my stubbornness. Then a strange
thought struck my mind. If it weren’t the loss of that laptop, I would have
never started reading those novels and if I weren’t reading those novels then I
would have never came across Rashmi Bansal’s “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish”. And,
the whole idea of starting this website came from that book only.
After all this pondering, I was sure that it wasn’t me
who lost the laptop that day, It was God
who wanted me to lose that laptop so that I could stop wasting my time and
utilize my skills to reach my goal “Change Atul Gupta to ‘The Atul Gupta’.”
I didn’t stop right there, I started thinking of past incidents
as well. How I managed to score good in CET after not so good performance in
national level ones, or how my being of small height and childish looks helped
me make friends with my seniors, or how I could manage to perform well in that
FIITJEE test after a full night of crying after my class 10th
result.
I started feeling so good after all this thinking. Then I
said to myself
“If it weren’t this neck pain that I’m having since yesterday, I
would have never bunked office today and never realized this fact”.
So long story short, whatever happens, happens for good. Believe
in him and most importantly, believe in yourself.
