A Young Boy's Dream
In life that lead us to surrender, accepting that life is not easy for us. We felt worthless and decided to do nothing because everything else was pointless.
But that is not how life works. Just this story that I'm about to tell you.
**The story of Naeem**
There was a poor boy named Naeem. He lived in a small village of Shantipur in Pabna, Sadar Upazila. Naeem was only six years old when his mother died. He began working as a domestic helper in a wealthy family when he was twelve years old. Because his father was unable to bring him up, Naeem used to obey the orders of the rich family members, despite the fact that Mijan (the only son of that wealthy family) disliked having things done by him.
He was happy to see Mijan going to school. Although he wants to go to school as well, but he must work hard. Naeem is eager to learn and was astounded by Mijan's vast knowledge. He has everything that a child desires and needs. But he put in his mind that instead of pondering things that is impossible for him, he would prefer to choose to work for his family.
Naeem wants to be friends with Mijan, but it has become difficult for him. He do all the things to make Mijan like him, even it lead him to be hurt. Until one day, Mijan noticed Naeem's kindness and hard work, and the two became friends. Mijan used to tell stories about their school and how successful people achieved their goals, which inspired Naeem to dream even bigger. Mijan's father noticed Naeem's eagerness to learn and decided to assist him in attending school. As a result, Naeem was able to continue his studies.
Mijan told Naeem another story one night. It was all about a poor boy who made it big by working abroad. Naeem was thinking that if he could travel to different countries, he would have a lot of opportunities. Because of this, he began to learn English and even Japanese by watching television and reading books. At the same time, he was drawn to learning about different cultures and beliefs in different countries.
Reading books became a habit for him, until at the age of 23 he became a member of their local library near the school. He learned and gained more knowledge, which makes him to be one of the top student of their batch. And he was still working while studying.
The day has come and he graduated in college. He looked for work and was fortunate to find one in a Singapore dockyard. He earns many times more than he did when he was younger. He was able to assist his family and provide for his wants and needs. His hard work began to turn his long-cherished dream into a reality, and he was grateful to Allah for assisting him in making his plan a success.
*This was a story shared by my father, that I truly learned and motivated a lot*.
***After he finished the story, he asked me this question.***
****What have you learned by this story******?**
I can't give the answer to him becuase I wasn’t got his point. Then my father told me :
Listen my boy.
***No matter how bad times come, never be disappointed in life. You Should thoughts always be positive,It will help you to have success in life. If you have to set a goal in life and work according to the goal, then success will surely come at any time anyplace. My father further told me that only through hard work you can change your destiny. Hard work is the key to success. Never forget it.***

Victory of My Grandma's Time
If anyone ask me what is the best time of your life?
Then I will say without any hesitation that it is my childhood time. Because my childhood time was very memorable. There are so many stories happened in my life at that time, that until now I'm still keeping in my heart. I used to play different types of sports outside our house with my friend all day long. When I remember those times, I want to go back to that memorable childhood, although it is impossible because we cannot travel back in time.
Now I will share with you the most tragic story by my grandma during my childhood. Can anyone imagine what happened? Okay I am going to tell it.
My grandmother enjoys telling us stories, and I thoroughly enjoyed too hear her various stories, that was really so interesting. Sometimes it's about her personal life, sometimes with different genre, stories and poems that can make us laugh.
This story was about my grandma's experience way back 1971, when the Pakistani military attack Bangladesh. At that time they were going to kill the people of this country wherever they could find them. That people of this country had to live in fear and panic. Even all of people were afraid to go to their own homes because the Pakistani military would go from house to house and shoot people. They rape, kill, and take some women to their camps to torture them physically and mentally, and also use them to be their cook.
That's why my grandmother's parents were so scared as they had three young daughters in their family. My grandmother told me that during the war they hid in various forests and mountain caves so that the invading forces could not find them. Because if they found them, they would kill them immediately, which is why they would run away. At that time they did not get proper food and drink and they used to spend their days drinking water and eat foods available at the forest. My grandma used to say "how long we would run away like this"
The brave boys of Bengal formed resistance from house to house against the invading forces. And Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman gave them necessary training and leadership to these wars. During the war, 11 sectors were formed under his leadership all over Bangladesh and a commander and a sub commander were appointed in each sector. Through them the Pak aggressor forces attacked various camps.
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was a great leader of the ruling party of Bangladesh. He held a huge public meeting on March 7, 1931 with all classes of people and gave them directions on how to prepare for war and how to resist them. At the end of that public meeting, he gave a historic speech that is still written in the pages of history.The statement was that when we have given blood, we will give more if necessary, but we will release the people of this country Inshallah.
Thus there was a bloody war for nine long months and 3 million people of Bangladesh were martyred in this war. But the victory belongs to Bangladesh. My grandma said that it was the best victory of Bangladesh still now.

My Journey :Boating
I like to ride a boat with my friends since I was a child, that we used to play in the field, and after get a rowboat and enjoy roaming in the lake.
Today I'll tell you about my first boat journey, what I mean is my longest and farthest boat riding experience in my whole life. This is my first post on this platform. Hopefully readers will be pleased to read and enjoy this article.
***
It was a Wednesday morning, and I was sleeping at home when my sister had called us from Dhaka. She told me to go to their house, and since my semester break was ongoing my parents also pushed me to go. Although it took 8 hours, for me to get in their place, I'm also thinking that it is a chance for me to visit them again, since we haven't go their for a long time. I agreed, prepared my things and decided to go after that day.
The day of my journey has come, and I left the house around 3 in the afternoon, and when it is already 3:40 p.m., I arrived at the riverbank. I spent a few minutes looking for a boat ticket counter before finally booked one, and my boat was scheduled to leave at 4 p.m. Because this was my first time building a boat, I was both nervous and excited. At 4 p.m., the boat set out on its journey. At first, it moved slowly, but as time passed, it began to move faster. The boat carried around 100 passengers in total. There were women, men, and children among them.
Stand for drinking water and food was provided inside the boat, so I buy bottle of water and a packed of biscuits. I try to choose biscuit which is not familiar for me, and as a good result it taste so delicious. When we reached the middle of the river, we saw different types of boats in the river.
The view was really nice and after going a little farther, I saw few fishermen fishing in the river by rowboat. The river was so deep but the boat was too big to go so there was nothing for be worry. I was in the front of the boat and had a nice breeze blowing. I was enjoying the amazing beauty around the river. It was getting late, but I still enjoy looking around the river to see the lights on the small boats. I notice that there was some house beside the river. After an hour and a half of traveling, I reached my destination. To make it clear, not yet in my sister's house, as I need to ride for another bus.
****
If you ask me what I've seen and learned on this journey, I would say that this journey allowed me to see a lot of beautiful scenery that I had never seen before in my life. I also saw many different types of boats in the river which made my day, added on how calm the environment was. Lastly, I discovered that I didn't have to be afraid of taking a boat ride on my own, because as a first time,I successfully made it.
For those who wants to experience riding a boat, or to have some travel by the boat but afraid. Taking a chance to experience this amazing journey is not to be worried. Just go and enjoy the journey, surely it will give you so much pleasure.
