(30 TRUCKS & CONTINUING)

Padhai, Kitabe, Degree, ….

Padhai, Kitabe,Degree…..

 Oh, stop, please!!

☝️ This was my condition back then

It all started way back in school when all my friends use to dream of becoming an engineer, a doctor, a lawyer, and whatnot.

But these dreams never even struck my mind.

The only dream was to become successful.. successful

 After school reopened, we friends use to discuss how we spent our summer vacations,

some enjoyed in Mahabaleshwar while some in Konkan. Belonging from a struggling middle-class family my summer vacation was simple: playing with siblings or going to relatives place(Chatar-fatar)...

     

I still remember I used to ask my friends what was their parents' profession and the majority said that their father was a BUSINESSMAN and believe me or not Cheers to that word!! That's the day I decided that I will also be a businessman so that I will also take my kids for an outing during their summer vacation

     

I used to keep admiring the trucks on the roads I was in love with trucks as my school was near highway I kept admiring each passing truck by the road.I used to just enjoy watching the huge trucks.

      

In 9th std after getting insulted multiple times and 'NO' as the answer, Finally, I convinced my parents to buy a tempo despite of the heavy loans & interest.

A driver & me in the tempo with just at the age of 16(10th std) used to deliver products.

Studies never interested me but I never wanted to regret not going to college. So I decided to attend college just for 5-6 months just to see 👀 how college life feels like..

As predicted that didn't work out for me.

       

As I was in love with trucks l learned to drive a truck at the age of 18, Started taking orders from the community but How long would it last, will it sustain??

The bad,poor,worse days started rising.Life was not at all easy, there were many circumstances in my life which left me no where but I still choosed to build myself again

Sometimes i didn't even had Rs.500 for diesel & I had to even pay bank loans.

At the same time truck also had accident & it was extremely difficult for me to repair the losses of the trucks .

I would also like to metion the most important person in my life a peaceful soul who played a vital role in my life .I'm everthing because of him my mentor and my inspiration who helped me throughout my hard times Mr Pawan Jain Managing Director of SAFE-EXPRESS PVT.LTD He has been with me through bads and goods . I have also worked as a driver in Safe Express and now ,I'm a delivery partner of the same company.It is great opportunity to show my gratitude towards him.

Always remember Ships are safe at harbour, but that's not what they are made for!

There are also some people who will underestimate you demotivate you but you are the only one who will build yourself & stand for yourself 

Don't give up till the time you feel that your hard work is worthless.

I still remember sitting in the tempo thinking about the worst future of mine

'NEVER LOSE HOPES,1 DAY DEFINITELY WE WILL ACHIEVE WHAT WE WANT &THEN LOOKING BACK WE WOULD SAY, OH DID I CAME OUT OF THESE IMPOSSIBLE DIFFICULTIES'

 Then just like watering a seedling, growing a plant & finally a tree now, I grew up to 30 trucks 

I got married at an early age of 21, I have two children from home to office, office to home I have a perfect life now 

Last summer vacation I took my family to the USA & now my children had an amazing story to tell their friends…

If you don't fulfill your dreams someone will hire you to fulfill there's.

"Always remember there's no impossible word in the dictionary of those who lead.No matter how big a challenge is, they can be resolved with strong intentions"
