Today i want to share school life story with noise family . I hope you like this .

Lets start..

One day ,in the morning assembly ,our school principle told all students to get ready for the annual essay writing contest . Students got very enthusiastic about this challenge . However, i did not show much excitement . When i returned home from school ,i was not in his usual playful mood . I was quite as i had lunch and went straight into my room after finished eating . My elder sister Sehrish was noticing my unusual behaviour . She came to ny room and asked "«you look upset . What's wrong ?

At first i would not answer but spoke up when sehrish probed me further.

I told that «the annual essay writing contest is round the corner . »Then sehrish said ,"That would be a good challenge for you . But why are you so sad?"

Then i share my fear . I said , you know how hard inworked for my essay writing last year but i could not get any position.😥

Then my sister sehrish tells that yes , it is no point trying so hard if you can not win. She said , dear sister every great person in this world has one or more failure behind his success . She tried to lift my spirit . She said , i have a book for for me containing life hiatories of famous personalities around the world .You read it . Am sure it will help you .

Evening time .

In the evening ,sehrish gave me the books she was talking about . Flipping throught its pages , i came across a title

"The leading scorer "

I quickly opened its pages .

The Leading Scorer

Sohail Abbas , born on 9 june 1975 ib karachi , hailed frim a sporting family . Sohail , a field hockey defender , penalty corner specialist and former captain of the pakistan hockey team .

As a young hockey player his potential was not realised for quite sometime . He had difficulty making an impact on the professional hockey leagues from 1995 to 1998. But he worked hard to prove himself . An impressive performance in the 18th junior national hockey championship in 1995 earned him a place in the pakistan junior squad which drew the home series against Germany (2-2).

He was not selected for back to back tours of the Netherlands, Germany and poland .

It was a moment of great disappointment for him , but he never gave up. He staged a comeback in the pakistan junior squad in 1997,a side which beat germany junior in four consecutive test matches . Four month later , he was dropped from the pakistan junior squad .

Sohail , who struck 20 goals in 1998 , was in terrific form in 1999when pakistan won the Azlan shah cip for the first time and got silver in the Asia cup. He was the leading scorer in the pakistan-india series (10 goals) , 9th Azlan . Shah cup (12 goals )and 5th Asia cup (16goals).

When the rules to hit a penalty corner were changed after the 1998 world cup he was not considered for 16th commom wealth games. He felt discouraged, but his love and passion for hockey dis not let him feel down . He worked hard and improve his skills to prove himself.

Today Sohail Abbas holds the world record for the highest number of goals in the field hockey.

His work hard, determination and strong belief in himself.

Made him a shining star. He always looks his failure positively. He is an inspiration for us . Many great person got success just after failure.

Failures is a power.

But the only key behind their success was that they made their failure their power.

Sohail is one of them .

How we success?

Success does not just come and find us . We have to find it amd get it. We should keep our hopes high and work hard to make our dreams come true .

Conclusion .

After reading the content , i felt really motivated . I understood that one should not feel demoralised if one meets with failure time and again .

Trying is better than crying .

I said himself. I went to his sister and thanked for help. Now i am not scared of failure . I am going to participate in the essay writing contest . My sister was very happy .
