There was a time when I used to think that listening to others' life stories is nothing just a waste of time. Why should I listen to what other experiences in their life? His circumstances and mine are not the same then why should I put my time into his tales. These were my opinion for a long time.
But you know what, my concept over this is changing gradually. I have started to listen to what others have to say for the mass people. How they are sharing the struggle they have experienced, how they have overcome those barriers now inspires me. Recently I watched some interviews with Elon Musk. He is now a hot topic so I went for the old ones. I wanted to see his journey before his trending position. In 2013 I was amazed to see his dreams and goals about tesla. How the people used to react to his dream. Now his dreams are successful. His Tesla, SpaceX, Solar City, and other projects are bringing a huge change.
I get amazed at seeing his plans for the future. Which feels impossible for the current time may turn out to be true in near future. Maybe we are laughing at this moment as that is sounding crazy but one day when that comes true we start to appreciate it. The program on youtube with the name of Ted is also a good one to find some amazing content from others' life. Not only from the virtual world, from famous people, but we do also have many things to learn from our surrounding people too.
Let's talk about an incident I experienced a few hours back from my writing. Its the month of Ramadan, when I was returning from the mosque I saw a boy standing under a building with food. He is a delivery boy who came to deliver food at 10 pm. Why are they doing this late at night? Because it's his job, he needs money for a living so he is working at this late hour too. I have seen families being destroyed in the covid pandemic even saw many families fighting back from that pushback. These kinds of things do teach me many things. Makes me realize how good I am and what could be the scenarios of life for me too. Forces me to question myself, will be able to tackle this kind of situation if I fall on these. May Allah blesses us all and keeps us happy. That's what I always pray for.
Time is ticking on and on, with that our life can change too. No matter what's your position is for now it may change in the future too. You may get super-rich after a year or fall victim to an unwanted crisis. So isn't it good to keep the experience of all conditions? Well, I am not saying that I am interested in these for this only reason. This one is one of them we should keep in mind.
