Incredible India monthly contest of August #1| Challenges
Hello my dear Steemians,
Today I wanted to write for this contest that is running by @meraindia , here is the link if you are also interested:
We face everyday some challenges often we might not recognise that but and while going through and coming to the result we then find out that it was a real success.
Do you have such feeling when at the end you have reached the result that you wished and have a feeling of completed, better to say successfully completed task.
In my life at present I have only little challenges and to tell the truth it is easy to reach. Actually I recall the words of my grandfather who always said that our spirit and our soul needs small moments of feeling of happiness what we completed something, that is why he advised to set small goals and work toward it.
My last achievement was when I was training to find summer job, it is a strange feeling when we think what is best to do for short period of time but to spend it more interesting and enjoyable. I decided to help in care home, only because my cousin is working there and she told me that they have some vacancy for summer months to help with elderly people as in summer many go to their holiday.
For me, it was strange feeling to be there and just start speaking with strange people. The start was a bit difficult but from my side, I did not want to be intruder into the life of the residents of care home. Nevertheless, after couple of days I found couple of people who we had a good chat. Those residents were happy to have someone who were there just for listening.
I met one elderly man who was here for last 2 years, he did have many photographs on his table and big family. When I asked him about, I was told many happy stories and also found that he had very good job before and now since he lived in this home, his wish was to be one more time there where his family was. It was in Italy, for me, I was surprised that he is here and family in Italy, but it seems that he had some arguments with them and they stopped talking.
I advised him to do the first step and just to phone or write a letter, because if we do not do that we might regret later. It would not be better it will be just a shame to loose time. The week later when I was there, I saw some visitors and I saw that man who was looking completely different, happy for the first time. I do not know if this connection will last longer but at least he tried.
After this case, I always tell myself if there is anything that we would like to do but hesitate and postpone we have to be brave and just go for it. We do not know if it will work of not but if we do not try we never find it our.
I am inviting following users for contest: @rumanaafroz, @monz122, @uzma4882
