My dad is a big inspiration for me and has always been , the way he has build himself with nothing was just amazing , starting from the zero and getting to where he is now , all shows how hard he worked and how he wanted this and achieved it , we all start from somewhere and get there by the hard work and not giving up , no matter how much we fail we shall never lose hope.

His dream was to become a pilot, but the requirement to pass an exam or complete the required training was to pay a certain amount of money, which my dad couldn't afford at the time. As a result, the only option left to him was to switch his major from pilot to engineering, and he was successful in doing so.

After putting in a lot of effort, he finally graduated with a very good degree in engineering and didn't waste any time looking for a job. Thankfully, he was accepted, but the job was outside of our hometown, so he had to travel there and back every two to three months. It was challenging at first, but he was pursuing his dream.

And of course what hard work brings is what the person deserves, so my dad began to get so many job opportunities in the gulf countries that he spent all of his time travelling. Not seeing him as often was sad, but I was also proud of his hard work because we were constantly switching countries, schools, and friends. It wasn't always easy, but I wanted to support my dad in every step, and now he is a successful CEO of a company and the manager of two others.

This is a story about my father and his resilient process to a better life:

From low-class family
Born in a remote village,
North of Mozambique

Innocent and cautious
Decisions making child
Even with low conditions
He was happy, he was calm

He was growing
and his ambitions too
Media and journals influence
Now he knew,
How that all information
From the exterior land
From those born blessed
with the gift of success
Could change is life
and enlighten his mind

I can do it, he said!

From there he took action,
and decided to join the studies
Driven by the fire
to chase his own passion

During the day helping his family
And losing nights with insomnia studies
Family supply was not the only thing
Starting to be lacking

His energy from his body and mind
started to be affected like the supplies
But he never quit
and always pushed to keep on trying

I can do it, he said, as if it were fuel for the sacrifice!

Years where passing
and with it, unforgettable events:
Independence of Mozambique
Civil war
“Is this the end of the world?” (he wondered)

Days were passing by
and frustration was growing
Suffocating his mind
with this hard growing

It’s time to do it, he said!

He never intended to reach the moon
But his small step made him give a giant leap
His mother was so happy
But it was exhausting she admitted

I did it he said!

Once a little child
become a strong man
Part those with the ambition
to develop his own land

Far from home
far from mother
he travelled to Maputo,
Looking for success
at the fountain of escudo (late Mozambican coin)

Full-time student
part-time worker
Building his family
With happiness and comfort

I want to tell an inspiring story about my friend

The man in the picture above is my dad. My dad works as a co-producer in the production house - Dharma production. He has worked for 20+ years to get to the post he is at now. After hearing his backstory, I have come to believe that hard work pays off.

He started off as a kid who lived in the refugee area of Bombay from the partition in 1947. Old moldy buildings, 2 sisters, his dad was a taxi driver, basically things weren’t the best. They got worse when his dad died, he was not even 18 but now was made the man of the house. He worked hours and hours.He worked so hard that every time he removed his socks, it would pull his skin off. Fortunately, after so much hard work, he started gaining recognition and connections. He then got into the film industry after trying a few acting gigs.

He did what he had to for the family. He is such a genuine hearted person, he worked so hard to make the amount of money he has yet whenever someone asks for help, he does not hesitate once - no matter the amount of money it will take him. On his own, with no money or property left to or for him, he worked so hard that now he has got his family into a 4BHK apartment in one of the biggest skyscrapers in Mumbai.

He gave up his dreams of being a cricketer and went along with every opportunity he got. All these hurdles got him where he is today and I could not be more proud of him. I hope to make him super proud just like he makes his family proud.
