Sam was scared.He was only seventeen.He was bright and smart.He was good at school.All his techers said so....so did his parents...so did his friends...and all those who knew him...He had already mentally prepared himself for an academician life to co - exist with a sportsman's life.
He had planned to enroll in one of the most prestigious colleges and graduate with honours.All his family knew this .All his friends knew this.He had always been quite a clear minded person .He knew what he wanted out of life and he knew how to get about it.
At least ,he had thought he knew.
Now it was through a sudden twist of fate that all his plans lay in ruins.The result of the public exam that he had appeared in ..right in front of his eyes.It was terrible.Something had gone terribly wrong.His grades was bad...just too bad.
He would not be going to a college of his choice and he would not be preparing for a life of pure academia...he had no idea what he was going to do......he had a dark bleak future spread out all around him.....like the dark bleak night....In fact he did not know how he would survive the night and what new horror would the next day bring to him .And the future ...it seemed dark...dark and bleak.
Through out the night one thought chased the other ,none of them good,none of the offering hope,he sat still ruling out one possibility after the other...
he could not go abroad or away...he had a sick mother to care for
he could not write his exams again...it was too much of a chance
he could continue his study the way he wanted to...it was out of his reach.
He began to think all that he had...a bright and a sharp mind...amazing communication skills....organizational ,management and entrepreneurial skills...
the long night was over...he would go into business...he would earn money...lots of it ...and he did!
