She is truly her angel !!
Twenty two years into her life
and today she holds a B.E degree.
Life is yet to begin for her in
the corporate world and she is ready to take up challenges.
There is one person she is
grateful to; to whom she owes a debt that is not repayable by any means
possible.
Who is she? An angel in her life!
Many times people who are not
fulfilling their destiny will try to discourage us from fulfilling ours. Few
people will try to show extra concern when we actually do not require it. Some
of them advice and confuse us. They may not do it intentionally, but they will
tell us what we cannot do, how things won’t work out. They will remind us of
our impossibilities.
This girl was not an exception
and the same had to happen with her. She
sat starring at the walls thinking about the past when she was pulled into the
present by this angel of hers. The angel said to her “The ability to believe in
yourself, to believe that you have the power to make your dreams a reality is
the ability to control your destiny. Anyone can have a strong belief when they
can see the evidence of good progress. The test of your belief in yourself will
come when there seems to be no evidence that you can reach your goals. Don’t
let someone else’s unbelief keep you from believing. Do not let other people
make you walk out of your dreams”.
The girl did not utter a single
word, for she was amazed how this angel could read her mind. Therefore the
saying goes “God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers”. Her
angel is her mother, a person who truly cares.
A baby just out of its mother’s
womb can be compared to an empty notebook. The preface of this book is written
by the people who take care of him/her until the baby grows and acquires the ability
to write his/her own destiny. When an outsider reads the first few pages of
this book, it reflects the character the mother instills in him or her. The
latter parts of this book depend on how the person writes his/her own destiny
making use of the values imbibed.
This girl’s story is no different
from the one mentioned above. Her mother’s nature influences her. Her mother’s
character influences her. Her mother is a person who portrays perfection in all
the things she does. A person who wants her child to be much more stronger than
her. An attitude towards life that inspires many people to think that life is
too good. A person who believes, if it is to be done then it is to be done no
matter what the neighbors or relatives think.
This girl hears many times that
parents that have single kids tend to pamper their only child. Added to this,
is the belief that when the child grows up, they grow up with a wrong attitude
towards life. A brat who cannot take no for an answer. But it is a different
scenario in this girl’s case. She is the only child, a child who is stubborn. But
her mother never compromises on her principles towards life while raising her.
Her mother uses a simple yet
effective sequential approach in raising her. She punishes her daughter for all
the wrong doings – ranging from simple ones such as not waking up when awoken
to moderate ones such as not doing her homework to big ones such as lying. But
she doesn’t forget to embrace her in a tight hug when she thinks she is
learning her lesson. Display of love is all tender minds need, and she knows it
very well.
Into the teen-ages, it is time to
instill principles and values. In this age the girl starts to believe that she
can write her own destiny. She thinks she needs no advice and needs no help in
making decisions. An age where her friends and surroundings have more impact on
her than her mother. She feels if her friends can do it, so can she.
The time has come when her
mother’s patience is tested almost every day. Patience to say what is right and
what is wrong, because once her daughter forms her own opinion on something no
argument can change it. She finds a way out. She tells her daughter whatever she
does is correct and that she trusts her. But also neatly slips in an advice and
tells her daughter to think about her family and people who have trust in her
before doing anything. It touches the right nerve. She indirectly helps her
daughter from going on the wrong path.
The girl is in her adulthood; her
mother is her best friend now. Her mother sits with her and discusses various
aspects of life. The girl is now capable of taking life’s crucial decisions on
her own. Her mother teaches her how to make them. She tells her no one ever
makes perfect decisions. Some decisions backfire and some lead to success. Her
mother doesn’t forget to tell her, all that she can derive from any experience
is experience itself.
People who meet this girl
appreciate her for what she is now. Some of them even wonder how such a
stubborn girl has turned to be a good human being. This girl simply smiles at
them and says "the reason being my mother, my angel".
Mother is truly an angel :)
