Once upon a time, in a small village nestled by the mountains, lived a young boy named Arjun. He was fascinated by the majestic mountains and dreamt of climbing the highest peak in the region, known as "The Titan." Every day, Arjun would gaze at the peak, imagining himself standing at the top, but he was often ridiculed by others. “You’re too young and weak,” they said. “That mountain isn’t for someone like you.” Despite the discouragement, Arjun held onto his dream. One day, he approached an old mountaineer, Raghav, who was known for his wisdom and strength. Arjun pleaded, “Teach me how to climb The Titan.” Raghav smiled and handed Arjun a small seed. “Plant this seed,” he said, “and water it daily. It will teach you the first lesson of climbing.” Confused but determined, Arjun obeyed. Weeks turned into months, and while watering the seed, Arjun noticed it hadn’t sprouted.

By Nitesh Srivastava | New Inspiration We often compare our lives with others—friends, classmates, colleagues, even strangers on social media. We wonder why someone else’s path seems smoother, brighter, or luckier than ours. "But the truth is, Not everyone’s life is the same. Not everyone starts at the same place.

The tears you hide may not be known, but they teach you depth. And the victories you earn—n...
Ravi was an ordinary student in a small town. He wasn’t the topper in class, nor the fastest runner on the field. But he had one thing that made him different—He never gave up easily. In his 10th standard board exams, Ravi failed in Mathematics. While others laughed or looked at him with pity, Ravi didn’t let the failure define him. Instead of hiding in shame, he picked up his books and told himself, "One more try. I’ll get it right." The next year, he studied harder—not just to pass, but to understand. He asked questions, took notes, and practiced every day. When he appeared for the exam again, not only did he pass, but he scored one of the highest marks in his school. That wasn’t the end of his journey. In college, Ravi struggled again—this time with English communication. During a group presentation, he froze. Embarrassed, he walked off the stage.
