But what is success?
Describe a successful person
Many people mistake successful people for overachievers. I feel that success lies in being courageous and brave. However, knowing that being brave doesn’t mean one goes looking for danger; it means they stand strong when it arrives. The girl I will talk about is no big celebrity but a simple city girl.
The Story of Sita: Strength in Simplicity
Sita was an old brown woman without a right hand and a swollen shoulder. She usually dressed in an ironed kurta. She lived on a large farm and roamed around in a bicycle. She went to her school every day and taught as a teacher. She talked to each student with equal respect and told them about ethics and kindness. At night she took a bus to get home. She usually talked about her failure more than success to her students as she described them as necessary building blocks. She was calm and comforting.
Rising Above Society’s Judgement
Some of society looked up to her as an icon but the majority of society looked down on her as a broken fly, but their negative words never affected her. She looked at herself as being enough but improving.
