Write A Random Story With A Moral

Last year in July, I met the most inspirational person of my life. His name was Maqsud. He was pulling rickshaw when I met him. That day I met him, I bought a computer mouse from IDB. On my way home I looked for a rickshaw. Fortunately, I found a one, and as I was getting on it a person came and said hey, I wanted to get on that. Then the rickshaw puller told him Time and tide waits for none. Better luck next time . I was amazed to find a rickshaw puller speaking English fluently. As the rickshaw started to roll, I noticed that he was aged near 40, and his dress-up was very clean. After I asked his name, I asked how long he had been pulling rickshaw and if he had done something else before it. He replied that he did various jobs throughout the year. I asked him like what?. He said he worked as a teacher, manager at privet organization, Junior officer at an IT firm, guard at airport, fisherman , truck driver, building constructor, etc. I got curious. I asked him if he had studied. He said he had done his graduation in philosophy from London. I said, are you serious? why are you pulling rickshaw?. He told me that it was his research in philosophy, and his dream was to be the greatest philosopher. After that he explained that he was a man from a rich family, and described his background a little. For pursuing this dream; his father disowned him. I told him, you couldve had a better life then this you know. He told me he was ready to sacrifice everything for the sake of his dream. I looked in his eyes and knew right away that he wasnt lying. We were having this entire conversation in English. Many of the university students cant even speak English well where this man was speaking English like a native European. Then the Rickshaw reached my home and we said goodbye. After that I remembered, when I was a kid I wanted to be an artist. But the dream faded away somewhere along rode of life. But, I started attending art classes from the next day. From this exp, learned that everyone should pursue their dream regardless o the outcome.
