A boy fails in 6th standard and drops out of school. After being concerned of a student dropping out of school, a teacher encourages that child to join back the school. Later on this boy in his career develops a food business and delivers his success story at Harvard University.
Today the company which he developed is know as 'iD fresh food'. As of 2021 the company is valued at ₹2,000 Crore.
After failing in Class 6 he joined his father on the farm. He said in one of the interview, "We barely earned ₹10 in daily wages. Eating three meals a day was a distant dream. I'd tell myself, 'Right now, food is more important than education',".
Many successful people are those who come out of hardship and struggle in their venture and later on this struggle gives them motivation to achieve in life. These people are ready to take risks in life, as they have already lived 'out of their comfort zone'.
This story also highlights the value of a teacher who was really concerned about his students. Who made him join back the school.
He further adds about his teacher, he has one regret that his childhood teacher is not alive to see his success. He says, 'When I returned home, I learnt that he'd (teacher) passed away. I was heartbroken and thought, 'If only sir could have seen what a laborer achieved because of him!' Now, I speak of him every chance I get; to honor his legacy,".
Salute to all the teachers on this day.
Wishing you joy and happiness, for being an amazing teacher, and you only deserve the best.
You have always been an excellent educator who knew how to illuminate a soul with its light. It is said that, the best teachers teach from the heart, not from the book.
