Once there lived a boy in a very small
village. His name was Kabir. He was
poor. So poor that most days his pockets
were completely empty. His shoes had
holes. His school bag was torn. And
sometimes he went to bed hungry. But
there was one thing inside Kabir that
nobody could see. It was his dream. He
wanted to do something big in life.
something that would change his destiny
and the destiny of his family. But every
time Kabir shared his dream, people
laughed. They said, "How can a boy with
empty pockets think about big things?
You should only think about earning
bread for the next day." Their words
hurt him. But deep inside, Kabir
believed that his future was not limited
to his present condition.
One evening Kabir was sitting near a
river feeling sad. An old wise teacher
named Guruji saw him and asked why do
you look so troubled my child? Kabir
replied Guruji everyone says I cannot do
anything great because I am poor. They
say my dreams are too big for a boy with
nothing in his hands. Guruji smiled and
handed him a mirror. He said look into
this mirror. What do you see? Kabir
said, I see myself. Guruji asked, do you
see the pain in your eyes? Kabir nodded
slowly. Guruji said, now look deeper.
Can you see the fire hidden behind that
pain? Kabir looked again and this time
he felt something powerful staring back
at him. Guruji said, "This fire is your
belief. Most people ignore it and give
up. But if you protect this fire, feed
it with courage and discipline, it will
light your path even in the darkest nights.
nights.
He added, "People will try to cover your
mirror with dust. They will make you
believe you are not enough, but you must
keep cleaning it with your actions. Keep
seeing your true self every day and
never forget what you are capable of."
Kabir took the mirror and the message to
heart. From that day, he applied the
same lesson to his life. He started
reading every book he could find. He
practiced writing. He learned from every
mistake. And he dreamed not of just
passing in class, but of becoming
something that would change his family's
fate. His journey was not easy. His
mother was very sick and often needed
medicine they could not afford. His
father was an old, poor farmer who
worked all day under the sun and still
returned home with empty hands.
Kabir knew he had to do something.
Every morning, Kabir went to school. In
the evening, he worked at a small tea
shop washing glasses and serving
customers. On weekends, he helped a
local mechanic to learn skills. And
every night, when the village was
asleep, Kabir sat under a dim light and
studied with full focus. He sacrificed
sleep, comfort, and even food sometimes,
but he never stopped. His mirror, his
dream, was always in front of him. Years
passed. Slowly he started a small mobile
repair business in a corner of the
village. He saved every rupee with care.
With time he opened a tiny electronics
shop. He worked day and night, treated
every customer with respect and
reinvested every bit he earned.
With strong will and smart planning, his
business grew. From one shop he opened
three. Then he launched his own brand of
mobile accessories. The same people who
once laughed at him now waited outside
his office for a chance to work with
him. His mother's treatment became
regular and his father no longer had to
work in the fields.
Guruji visited him one day. Kabir
welcomed him with deep respect. Guruji
smiled and said, "You see, Kabir, the
world tries to make poor boys think
small, but those who dare to think big
rewrite their story. You are proof that
dreams are not measured by the money in
your pocket, but by the vision in your
heart. Dear friend, if you felt even a
little spark of hope in your heart
today, do not keep it to yourself. Share
