Your Dream

Arjun was a quiet teenager who loved to sit in the back row of his classroom, not because he wanted to hide, but because he enjoyed watching how his teachers explained each lesson. He admired the way a good teacher could turn a confusing problem into something clear, or how a kind word could give courage to the shyest student.

When his classmates spoke of becoming doctors, pilots, or business leaders, Arjun hesitated before answering. Finally, he said softly, “I want to be a teacher.”

They laughed. “Why would you choose something so simple? Teachers don’t become rich.”

Arjun smiled but kept his thoughts to himself. He knew they didn’t see what he saw—the power of shaping lives, of planting seeds of knowledge that could grow far beyond the classroom.

One night, after finishing his studies, Arjun dreamed that he was standing at a blackboard. Rows of children sat before him, eager and restless. He guided them patiently, encouraging them when they stumbled, celebrating when they understood. In the dream, he felt a joy deeper than applause or wealth.

When he woke, Arjun’s heart was steady. He no longer feared being judged. He knew his dream was not small—it was strong.

Moral: True success is not measured by wealth or status, but by the difference you make in the lives of others.
