A Word to Young

A Word to Young 

You may have heard of the famous American Football player – O.J.Simpson. Let us view him only as a great football player. He played like a tornado on the football field. When he played, the opposite team was as helpless as cotton wool in a storm. He achieved great victories. He earned millions of dollars and reached the zenith of his career at a supersonic speed.

Simpson was born in a poor family. He was physically weak. He used to be teased as pencil legged as he had bone deformity. When he was a boy, he could not afford to buy a ticket for a football game. During those days, the most famous player was Brown.

One day, after a great game, Brown came out of the ground carrying an arm load of cups and shields. A little boy, who was just knee high, touched his leg. Brown bent down. ‘Sir!’ said the boy, ‘I am your fan.’ ‘Ah, is that so?’ said the Brown and began to move away. Again the boy stopped him and said, ‘Sir, I have all the details of the number of goals you have scored and the victories you have achieved from the beginning of your career!’ Brown said, ‘Good!’ with a casual smile and moved on…but the small boy stopped him again and said, ‘And on one day I will break all your records!’ Brown patted him on his shoulders in astonishment.

That little boy, on growing up, really broke all the records of Brown, just the way he had declared! The boy was O.J.Simpson!

A person’s life will be meaningful only if he has a goal in life.
