Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one such1that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I think of this story.
It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us on 2things in life and about devoting ourselves to3is important to us. This is how the story went:
An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the sub-way. He would4the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and 5 . He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at6street corner and begged for almost 20 years.
His7was dirty, and a stench came out and it smelled terrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of8all over the house 9he had collected over the years.
The police counted the money, and they soon10that the old man was a millionaire. They waited outside his house expecting to11 the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a12man now, a millionaire.
But the old man said13; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up14, went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg.
Clearly, this old man had no great plans,15or anything significant for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.
