When he turned 16 he made a wish that all is dreams come through except one , his dream on becoming an engineer , is family asked him why has he chosen to give up , he replied being engineer is so hard and I don't want to work to achieve my dreams I want them to come to me like everything else does , he's Daddy smiled out of fear and sadness that his son is becoming lazy more and more .

When he turned 20 he saw things was becoming harder than they use to be when he was 12 then his dreams dropped by 2 , first his dream to become an actor he was asked why he said he had an audition for a role in a short movie and on the day of the audition he was out of words scared and shy in front of the judges and was not able to audit for the role, sadness falls in and the pursuit for the dream came to a sad end .
The second was his dream on becoming a writer , when he was asked why he said the first book he wrote nobody read it cause he wasn't that popular and was only his closet of friends bought the book and read it , he said he's tired of trying , there goes another dream. At the age of 20. ☹️

When he turned 27 , the last two dreams dropped when he was 18, he sat in the corner of is room and think about how far he had gone in the last decade and half then he broke down in tears cause everything was blank no accomplishment , all he left was the fragrance of what he would have become if he hadn't given up every single one of his dreams because of failure at first try.

Morale of the Story

Never you give up at first trial because you failed, cause you might never know if the next trial would be the one to favour your journey to become who you wish to be. Have as many dreams as you want but don't let the fear of failure stop you for working to achieve them out of 10 dreams you might only achieve one at the end of the journey but you'd never know which one if you quit at the beginning of the journey .

Failure is not the end of the journey , it's only the beginning , if you don't fail then you are not trying , failure should make you want to achieve the goal not give up on it ..
