Wholesome wisdom from a 9 yo

My baby brother got his result today. When he came home, he was narrating to mama how everything went.

The teacher announced the positions, 1st was my brother, 2nd and 3rd were other kids. His best friend, who didn’t get any of the top three positions, started crying. My brother asked him what was wrong, and his friend told him that he had worked so hard for this, he even studied during his play hours in winter vacations.

Then my brother, in his little serious voice, replied;
Ap ne mehnat to ki thi na, mehnat kbhi zaya nhi jati. Ap is pe mat ro, ye duniya ki kamiyabi hai. Asal kamiyabi to akhrat ki kamiyabi hai. Ap bas mehnat karte raho, apko agar duniya me nhi to InshAllah akhrat mein iska ajar milega.

His friend stopped crying, and they both prayed for better grades and the best akhira. 🥹

This is for everyone stressing over grades, results, or shiii: Keep working hard. You might not always win, but what matters is the effort you put in. And always, always keep the bigger picture in mind. ⭐
