Moving on
“Dad, can we just camp at this place?”, the little boy tried asking again while they dismantled the tent. It was his first hike.
“No son, we can’t”
“But why? This is such a nice place, it is comfortable and I’ve been a good boy all along”
“That’s where you are wrong. You musn’t get too comfortable. Get out of your comfort zone. Don’t stop no matter how difficult the next step is”
He didn’t understand. Left with no choice he followed his Dad.
Years later those same words helped him make up his mind for a life changing decision.

Good but hard education
Some lessons are hard but important. Thanks for the comment.
Great lessons will be learnt late many a times !!!
Yes, it is only when it is too late that we realize the most important things in life.
Lessons need to be learnt along the way. Love the story, Reema 🙂
Thank you Maliny 🙂
So relatable! Little things we hear in our childhood come back to us when we least expect them.
And most of the times these little things help us through difficult situations.
Life’s lesson : Hard and harsh, but they are the necessary evil.
Great post.
Rightly said AK! And thanks 🙂
