Less talk and more action, come on: Daniel, the voiceless kid (Original)

in #story8 years ago

Some people are more extroverted than others, some people are used to talk very much with stranger ones because they just like it.

We may be as friendly as we want. 

And that's fine, the problem is when people tend to talk more than necessary and start to show off all the time. Many times it has been proven that if you are really good at something, you don't need to mention it thousand of times.

That's what this story is about. 


Marcel and Daniel were two twins living in a small town called Normonte, they had been raised by two middle-class and very busy parents who were aged 30 years old both of them. Marcel was born with all normalities that a boy could have at the time to be born, but in the other hand, Daniel had got complicated and born voiceless. He was going to live his entire life with this issue, everything seemed to indicate that his childhood was going to be really tough.

At the age of 5 years old, Marcel was a very friendly kid, he liked to play any kind of games with every single boy or girl at his school, and that didn't seem to be difficult for him. He was always playful and prankful with all people around him, trying always to get the whole attention as the boys do at that age. 

Daniel, because of his issue with his voice, wasn't very popular like his brother. The teachers were always worried about him, they were treating him on a very special way. Sometimes overprotecting him no matter what, after all he seemed to be the the most fragile kid in the course. 

But Daniel didn't seem to care too much about this thing of his voice and since a very early age he started to read several books. Books which were a little advanced for his age, he was barely 5 years old and he was reading books about human psychology and not the ones that the teachers sent him as a homework instead. 

And their entire childhood was almost the same for each one, Marcel getting the whole attention by doing all kind of stuff and Daniel being the fragile, quiet and overprotected one who tended to read many books, after all, it was kind of complicated to communicate with others besides his own parents. 

Since they were 10 years old, their parents had started to give them money for school. Marcel liked to spend the whole money in toys or videogames in order to play with all the friends he was making, he liked to spend on very expensive ones because that had made him feel he was rich. Daniel on the other hand, was spending just the necessary to buy some books, and saved all the remaining money. Nobody was playing any game with Daniel, and Marcel liked to bother him all the time because of that. 

At the age of 16, they were both in highschool already and nothing had changed for any of them. Marcel was still the popular one, and Daniel the quiet one. Marcel sitted in the popular's table whereas Daniel used to sit alone in another table. Marcel was all the time talking about the rich person he was going to be for sure and the luxuries he would going to have. Their parents told them to find a job so that they could afford their own expenses and stop asking their parents for money, it sounded pretty fair to Marcel, but kind of tricky to Daniel. After highschool Marcel was going to work everyday at a sports store and Daniel found a job to do in his own computer where he didn't need to say a single word. 

Marcel always was spending all the money as usual with all his friends, he was older this time so he was doing other things more expensive, he also liked to talk about all the things he wanted in life or things that he was so "sure" to get. Daniel was firm to his posture of using the money to buy a couple of books and save the rest remaining. Daniel wasn't a boy who liked to spend big amounts of money and that fact worried his parents because they were wondering where all the money saved actually was, Daniel never said a single word about it while Marcel was always showing off and talking about the successful guy he felt already. 

One day, 10 years later, while Marcel was having financial problems because he didn't have a job, Daniel told his parents and his brother that he was finally leaving his home. 

The parents and Marcel were shocked about this and asked him how he was going to do to maintain himself and all that kind of things. 

Daniel in a letter well written said: 

Mom and dad, since I was 5 years old I've been saving money to create a big capital in order to invest it someday as I readed in many books I have bought through my life, that day was 5 years ago when I started my own business from my computer and that business is making a lot of money for me now, all the adversities were worth it after all, my issue somehow made me capable of developing another abilities and disciplines as being interested in business by reading about them. 

And Marcel, I think you are a fantastic person, I could have wanted to be a little more extroverted an popular like you but i'm happy the way I am right now. Nevertheless, I hope you have learned something from me... That the actions worth much more that all the words of the world, take care.  


That was the letter written by Daniel, the guy who was really quiet during his entire life, but at the same time he was creating a great future proving one more time That the actions worth much more that all the words of the world. 

So remember this story all the time when you want to start something in your life, less talk and more action please!
