The Lesson I Learnt on That Monday

There are always some incidents in life which keep you wondering……. Can I really make an impact in someone’s life?

It happened on Monday.

That day no one was talking to me nicely…except for my best friend.

As I was an extrovert, I used to talk to everyone in my class kindly. But sometimes it felt that some of them didn’t like me as they were always talking rudely to me. You know teenagers……they feel bad for every little thing.

That day, I did too.

I got really upset. I didn’t talk to anyone and neither did they talk to me. My best friend noticed this. She told me that I don’t have to be sad for such small things. Incidents happen in life which make us feel really bad. But we can’t let anyone affect us. We can’t give the remote control of our life to everyone. We have to learn to face people and if we feel really bad, we can ignore all the barking dogs.

She told me that from nursery to fifth, she was not a positive person. But, when she met me in sixth grade, I changed her life. She saw that I was an optimistic person and I was her inspiration for becoming a positive person.

That day, I felt so good. I had never realised that I could make an impact in someone’s life. My best friend has always been there for me and I am happy that I could make an impact in her life.

So, whenever you feel you’re not good enough, just talk to a closed one. It can be anyone close to you - your parents, friends, sibling. It will make you feel so good; you have no idea. And if anyone says anything to you, just ignore them. That was clever people do!
