"If I asked you, Have you all heard about story of the Rabbit and Tortoise then the answer would be certainly Yes,"
"I meant who have not heard of that story? You must be living in another world If your answer was No."
"But what I am going to tell you is that, the story you have heard or read about Rabbit and Tortoise is Half,"
"I, Basanta one of your classmates is going to tell you whole story of Hare and Tortoise,"
"C'mon, guys what do you think happened after Hare lost the race against Tortoise?"
I stared at my classmates but no-one said a word they just glared at me,
It was very awkward,
I mean very awkward,
And,
I got anxious and I also stopped giving my speech,
Ummm,
I took back the control of my fear and started talking,
"Umm, Oh yes, Let me tell you what happened,"
"The Hare learned from his mistake and challenged the Tortoise again, And What do you think who won the race?"
I still glared at my classmates and still there was no response they just glared back at me,
My legs were shaking,
My breathing was rough,
My voice was shaky and full of fear,
There was one voice in my mind telling me to give up,
There is no point in doing this,
Just say thank you and it will be done and many of your friends has done even worse then this.
You will get average marks,
What is the point of doing this social calamity,
I am afraid,
It said,
I am afraid, I want to hide away,
I do not want people to see me,
I do not want to give this speech,
I am very afraid,
There is no benefit in giving this speech,
Nobody wants to hear your speech,
As you can see it by yourself,
Nobody is giving a fuck and your teacher is just nodding,
Like he do's with others,
Your classmates are just listening for sake of listening,
But I didn't gave up or stopped talking
Because I knew, their action is not under my control and there is only one thing in my control and that is my actions and my thoughts,
"Haha, Of course The hare won easily and what do we learn from this?"
"That is, we should learn from our mistakes,"
"Everyone makes mistakes in their life, The Hare was lazy in his first race but he learned from the mistake he made and improved himself."
"We all are that Hare, with boundless potential it is our unwillingness to learn from the mistakes that we lose to weakling like Tortoise,"
"I have to say with sorrow that many people are struck in that part of life, If you made a mistake then you should learn from it and I can guarantee you will be a better person and unlock your boundless potential,"
"As there is a great poem, A road diverged in yellow wood and I took the one less travelled by and that has made all the difference."
"Many people only think of improving from their mistakes but they never do it,"
"They never take actions,"
"The road are only two, One is to learn from mistakes and one is to only think about improving them and never taking the action,"
"Let me ask you this then if it was so easy? Why are not most people successful? Why is that the class taught by same teacher has different results?"
"Why is that some people get good marks and some do not?"
"The answer is…"
