Once there was a boy named Ranjek who was living with his uncle & sister in a small building.

One day due to high temperature they decided to take rest at roof top in night by sleeping under bright moon light with stars & clouds around.

His sister Remoine, asked him, " Ok monkey! Now Uncle has slept.. let's complete the uncompleted game now. "

Ranjek asked knowingly, " Which game are you talking about, idiot? Can't you just simply look at the beautiful sky ? "

Remoine said in irritation, " You little...! What you thought? I won't remember, I remember everything ... The last time we played truth & dare, you have chosed truth & told me to ask the dare next time. Look, if you won't continue the game today, then I am not going to help you with your project tomorrow. "

Then forcefully Ranjek has to listen to his sister.

Remoine asked, " What's your dream? Well, say both your answers - The long term one & the current one too. "

Ranjek started, " Well, in long run I want to leave myself in the mixture of universe by studying in my dream college - MIT. But about current..... "

[Utter silence was there for a moment ]

Remoine told - "I can't believe you got lost in thoughts of universe at this moment... Seriously! "

Ranjek answered, " Actually I wanted to talk about this with you.. I wanted to give IMO to represent my country in world standards in the field of maths. But as you know it's syllabus is as vast as ocean & my knowledge is a small boat. I am at finals of 9 grade... & without any coaching & regularity.........
[ small silence ] may.. maybe this year also I won't give this exam. But I really wanted to as this will surely reflect by knowledge in international universities... But dunno what to do... "

Remoine said, " If your boat is too small to travel in ocean, then reform it into technical ship & go for venture.
That's the only way."

Ranjek had a question mark on his face by listening this.

Remoine then told " I know it's very difficult to complete syllabus but atleast don't stop, maybe atleast walking instead of stopping would create some chances.. Look, don't stop . I know you have already started next grade preparation but stopped due to self doubt.. But listen, UNIVERSE DON'T RESPOND THEM WHO DON'T RESPECT THEIR OWN INSTINCTS..
So insted of gazing at the gorgeous cosmos, go to room & work like hell.. Who knows maybe daily struggle will ultimately make you win! "

After this response from Remoine, Ranjek got a spark in his brain & he worked day & night in his study room & after one year he successfully represented India in world terms & also badged gold medal..


This shows how momentum of actions can steal the dreams & make them true ...
