Fighters

Rajesh aged 45 and his son Daksh aged 14 was walking along the beachside early morning. The sun was about to rise from the horizon, it's orangish light on clouds gave a breathtaking view. Some fishermen on boats were fishing. 'Your mom told me that they rejected you from playing 11 in school cricket team' Rajesh asked. 'Yes, it's because I run slow, I am not going to apply again' Daksh replied.

Daksh was watching curiously how the fisherman was putting their nets and catching the fishes. There was one bird which was trying to grab the fish from the net whereas all the other group of birds was waiting for the fisherman to come at the shore and sort the bad fishes so that they can feed on them. 'I think that bird is crazy, it can die if it gets caught in the net, it can also wait like these birds, right dad?

After thinking for a moment Rajesh replied 'No, it's not a crazy bird, to me it is a fighter bird, it is not satisfied with leftover fishes, it wants something extra and to get that it is working hard keeping aside its fear'. After a moment the bird flies towards the cloud with a big freshwater fish in its beak. Rajesh kept his hands on Daksh shoulder 'see the rewards are big when you work hard, keeping your fears aside'.

The next morning Rajesh wakes up and finds Daksh was not in the room. He reached the beach and instantly a smile came to his face as he saw Daksh running with a stopwatch in his hand.
