Mohan was a student weak in studies but passionate about playing cricket. He dreamed of being selected for the school cricket team. However, due to a lack of practice, he couldn’t make it.
Mohan was heartbroken and sought advice from his grandmother. She said, “Mohan, to achieve anything, you need hard work. If you want to join the cricket team, you must practice regularly.”
Mohan took her advice to heart. He began practicing every morning, working on his bowling and batting. After days of effort, his skills improved.
When the school held cricket team selections again, Mohan practiced diligently and gave his best performance. The selectors were impressed and included him in the team.
Mohan jumped with joy. He learned that success doesn’t come without hard work.
Moral of the story: There are no shortcuts to success. Hard work and dedication are essential to achieve anything.
