Everyone wants success, but very few prepare for it at the right time.
This is the story of a boy who learned—sometimes, a little late—that marks alone are not enough.
The Story
A boy lived in a town city with his family. He was a bright student and always topped his class from a young age until he completed his graduation. Because of his excellent academic record, he believed that good marks were enough to get a good job.
During his college days, his friends advised him,
"Along with studies, you should also start learning skills or doing part-time work. It will help you in the future."
But the boy ignored their advice. He focused only on studies, while his friends worked part-time jobs and slowly mastered different skills.
After graduation, his friends got jobs in big companies.
The boy, however, was still searching for a job.
The Turning Point
One day, he started regretting his past decisions. He felt helpless and confused. Finally, he called his friends and said,
"I don't know what to do now. I don't have any skills. Please help me."
His friends replied honestly,
"We told you earlier. In today's world, marks alone are not enough. Technology is growing every day. Skills matter."
The boy felt broken—but his friends didn't give up on him.
The Comeback
They told him,
"There is still one way. Start now. Learn a skill. Work hard. Be consistent."
The boy became hopeful. He decided to change himself. He started learning new skills and worked in different fields. With hard work, patience, and dedication, he slowly improved himself.
After some time, his effort paid off.
He finally got a job in a good company.
Conclusion / Moral
The boy realized his mistake and said,
"If we don't change ourselves with time, time will leave us behind."
