Zaheer is not an old friend of mine, the student has been in the business world for only four years. Zaheer is about seventy-five years old, has spent his entire life running and growing a business, busy all day. One day they came to the office and said, Sunday is a holiday, we will eat together. Their house is not far from my poor house. The time was fixed for one o’clock, I reached at the appointed time. We sat in the drawing room and started chatting.
Meanwhile, an ugly cat came and sat on the host’s lap. The cat was sitting calm and relaxed. It seemed that she was listening and trying to understand everything we said. When he got up to eat, the host lovingly put him on his shoulder. We sat at the dining table in the drawing room. A separate bowl-like container was kept for the cat, which also contained its food.
Just as we had lunch, this animal also ate silently. When we sat back in the drawing room for coffee, the cat also came back and sat at the feet of Zaheer Saheb. Seeing the animal’s familiarity with the owner, he did not let go of me, so I asked him, I think, you Very fond of cat. Zaheer looked at me intently, not attached. This cat is an important part of my family. I feed him myself. I bathe it every two weeks.
When I come home, it is waiting for my step. As soon as I enter the house, it tries to sit on my lap like a child, wherever I sit. I said, you are really attached to this pet. Zaheer laughed heartily and said that I actually learned business from this animal. The answer was surprising to me. Zaheer said, “Doctor, you have pierced my vein.” Just listen carefully. Exactly fifteen years ago today, I failed miserably in business. There is no money left to pay office rent.
Sold the car, sold the house and shifted to a rented five marla house. The wife and children also suffered. The wife said that your business was going very well. Maybe someone has cast a spell, everything has stopped. She took me to the feet of the beggars. One of the officials began to say that people who have business rivalry have placed amulets on you. And my clients will just fix everything. What would the dead do? The agent asked for twenty five thousand rupees. Which he borrowed from a friend and paid with great difficulty. According to the agent, the client will fix everything in two weeks. Two months passed but nothing was fixed.
I was in debt. People used to come to ask for money. And I used to fold my hands and take a break. One day decided that there is no point in life anymore. Therefore, one should get rid of this useless life. It means that one should commit suicide. Decided to jump in front of a moving train. The train tracks were about ten minutes away. quietly set off on foot to end his life. Looking at everything with nostalgia for the last time. He told his wife and children that he was going to meet a friend.
It will be late. I left a letter in my room saying that I am ashamed of all of you for not being able to give a good life. And it’s better to just end it than live a failed life. In the letter, he apologized to everyone and requested prayers. There was a lot of excavation just before the track. There was a hole in it. Which seemed too deep. There was water in it. It was very cold. The sun was setting. But there was still a faint light. When he started to pass by the edge of the pit, he heard the sound of a kitten. He stopped after hearing this. Saw that the thin little kitten was soaked in water.
He was shivering with extreme cold and was trying unsuccessfully to get out of the pit. I stopped. Sitting on the edge of the pit, he began to watch the attempt of this young man to get out alive. It was known that these are the last hours of life. So let’s look at this story. The ugly kitten’ was looking for different ways to get out of the hole. But every time he failed and fell into the water. But then he would get busy trying to get out through another way.
I was still watching everything. I had no attachment to my life. So what was I supposed to do to help this blonde? After eight or ten bargars, he was completely exhausted. It was thought that he would die soon. But inside the hole there was a branch that bent inwards from a nearby tree. The child leapt with a little force and caught the corner of the branch with its teeth. Then took the twig to the wall of the pit. After that, he dug his claws into the soil and slowly came out. I was surprised to see the willpower of this blonde.
He held her gently and pressed her under his arm and returned home. Bathed her in her room and put her to bed. That Balongada’ has come to rest after centuries like a deep sleep. Sitting on a chair nearby, he wondered if the weak kitten could save his life with a strategy. So why am I going to die? Incidentally, no one saw my suicide note. It was torn into pieces. Completely changed the strategy in his business from the next day. He took a rented hall and installed a few machines there on loan and started making the same parts that he used to make in his big factory.
He hired a couple of laborers and started the work himself. In two or three months, huge orders started to be received. Because I priced the standard parts well below the market. The profit was also slightly less but the volume of work increased.
In less than a year’s time, a large factory was set up. Today, Masha Allah, there are four factories’ and eleven thousand people are working under me. I have learned the true meaning of success in life from Balongade. After that, this cat has become a member of our house. After some time I narrated the whole incident to my wife and children. So everyone started crying. However, now I am very happy and looking at this cat, I repeat my determination every day that there is a solution to every problem, you just need to change the way you think and act.
The purpose of submission is that in the practical life of every human being there are successes as well as failures. Many times we don’t realize our mistakes. We become pessimistic but do not change our failed strategy. The greatest lesson of life is that every failure has an age. Success can be achieved by changing the way you think and act.
No failure’ is permanent it can be defeated. If a kitten can crawl out of a hole ‘in the dead of winter’, why can’t we change our destiny by working hard? Whenever you feel down ‘and see no way out’, remember the bravery and struggle of this blonde to survive. By God’s grace every failure will end and success will kiss your feet.
