Poem
A childhood memory, i vividly remember... I was detected with blood cancer, doctor told I will not live for more than 6 months. That day we all cried like I had actually died It was the toughest period of my life I would have nightmares of death coming to pick me up I remember telling my parents to adopt a child Not to cry I died thousand death's every day I asked again and again why me? I wanted to live I was good in studies I want to make my parents proud After eight months of ordeal I was finally cured It was the happiest day of my life. Doctors said it was a miracle Back home from hospital, I was confused It was my board exams only one month was left (Board exams are very crucial in India for career) We met principal she had everything ready, she said "you are intelligent. I am confident you will shine Remember when you study with absolute concentration without thinking of anything especially results miracles happen" I was not convinced. Mother gently told me result is not in your hands don't think of it. But this one month is in your hands work with concentration, Follow what principal said, have no thoughts except the lesson in front. 'You mean thoughtless absolute concentration?" I reconfirmed "Yes" she nodded. I did as she told, worked hard, Wrote my exams without any thoughts, tension, expectation I got 82%! School Topper. I was beyond myself with joy, frankly pleasantly surprised. I met my principal, she smiled and said " If you work with absolute concentration miracles happen. Now you believe?" I nodded. " You were right Man." A valuable lesson was learnt that day. Date: 7/31/2020 4th position
