It is Not What Happens to You

 About 30 years ago, in a small town, a hardworking couple got so much irritated with the embarrassing acts of their son that they told him to leave home. He felt insulted and in rage shot his mother dead and fled. Arrested a few months later, he was convicted of murder and sentenced to death. On appeal, the court changed the death sentence into life term. He hates his family and specially his mother as he holds her responsible fortune.

            ''That man can have nothing but what

                   he strives for''..........


About the same time, in another town not too far away, an industrialist with the support of his two sons decided to throw out of home his younger son who was bringing a bad name to the family. His friends taunted him on his expulsion. He thought the must do something big to ease the pain he had caused to his family. He was a high school dropout and thus could do nothing much. Three months later, he took a major decision. While looking at various options, he discovered he could build on his little experience in his father's factory in making footballs. With this little knowledge, meager resources but a very strong commitment, he started manufacturing footballs. within 10 years, he became one of the largest exporters of football in the country.

              ''And verily We shall try you till We know those 

                  of  you who strive hard (in the cause of Allah)

                           and the steadfast, and still we test 

                                 your record''.........

How did this happen?  Both the boys had the same beginning. An incident that caused the biggest mishap in the life of the first young man helped  the second in making a Zero to Hero. Not what happens to you, but how you take it is what determines your life.
