Hakuna Matata - why worry?

The assignment was important to Nischal. He had to complete it in record time otherwise he would not get the marks which would qualify him for writing the exam.

The blank page stared at him. The project that his team was to present as part of the curriculum should be top notch. The project determined their success in landing a good job after college.

Ideas flashed in his mind but none of it seemed to make it through to becoming a practical piece of work. He was desperate and became moody and irritable which led him to speak rudely to his mother. He felt sorry afterwards but he knew that she would be sad even though she forgave him.

The next day at college, he got to meet two of his mates who talked about helping a student who was struggling with finances. The student had to look after his family and also fund his own education. The said pupil did not lose heart but had started his own channel on you tube so as to earn extra money. Unfortunately, it was not doing good and so, his classmates decided to help him as per their limited means.

Nischal was moved by the determination of the poor student. He realized how lucky he was. He only had his assignment to worry about besides other trivial matters. He went back home and started writing about his ideas. It was basically about an app that could help college students. He wrote in detail about how the app worked and then set out to develop it.

The app became a huge success even before it was looked at by the professor. The students thanked him and his friends did not hesitate to share it with their friends.

Nischal's mood improved and he talked about his success to his mother who was pleased that he had succeeded in his work. She told him that life would always present him with problems but success lay in overcoming it with self discipline, determination, positive attitude and mindset and clear goals.
