Today we will tell you a story of how a small young boy paved his path towards the self made businessman . With his word of conviction and hard work and with lots of dreams. A skilled, struggling man who started from zero and today with hardships and his honest efforts he is the most successful , efficient BUSINESSMAN OF HIS CITY.
There was a little boy of 9 years of age. He understood his father’s toil and pain and understood that his father needs him. From the age of 9 he started with the business in which his father laid the foundation stone.
The sweet shop. Keeping someone as the laborer of the sweetshop sounded a luxury and far fetched dream. So the little boy learnt the art of making sweets, the concept of hard work, managing a shop and a lot more. In one hand going to school completing his studies and while returning he admired the pond, the birds returning to their nests, the boys going to play outdoor games. This little boy somehow arranged sometime for himself to play in the evening. A little football each and every day refreshed his mind and then with studies he knew he had to give full focus on business.
Although he had barely any idea about sweet making, or the art of making sweets he participated along with his father in the shop to learn and grow.
In one side he wanted to write poetry which he did after completing eating home made dinner and in another side he wanted to learn the business. Being with his father and helping him out in sweet making business. The boy was growing and so his maturity became an urgent need to understand the business.
Feeding the family of 8 was not easy as the sweet shop was sole earning source.
The elder brother was studying still, The marks said he can be The best doctor but financial restrictions were always present in the family. On one side giving the rent and another side fulfilling the basic needs of the family members when the two youngest sisters were still at school.
The father-son sweet making partnership didnt stay long as the father was suffering from DIABETES and went back to their village as doctor clearly said Patient needs more greenary.
Who knew that’s the last time he was visiting his business, his small sweet making shop.
Time flies, today this little boy is 57 years old one of the most successful businessman. And Everyone knows him by Mr. Uday Sankar Mahapatra the Electronics businessman of the town Bhadreswar.
How did he get there? Hardwork pays off.
