Everyone experiences difficulties in life and something that can make all the difference in the world during such times is hearing kind words from the people around us. I mean, that is why so many of us listen to motivational speakers right? The words empower us. And we’ve stumbled upon a wonderful Twitter thread that has given us a real-life example of this phenomenon.
In this thread, Dr. Sabiha, who is a life coach, shared an extremely sweet and heartwarming encounter between her father, and a Skechers area manager. She talked about running into Mr. Datta, who told her and her father of how he became so successful and happy all thanks to Sabiha’s father and his motivational words. Take a look at the tear-jerking thread yourself.
Aisa bhi hota hai!

My dad and I had been to Sketchers to buy shoes. There we meet a young man, who came to us and said, "Mala olakhla ka?"
(Did you recognize me)
My dad could not recognise him.
What he said next
was shocking!
"You will be the next Vajapayee, one day!"

The young man said, "Sir that line has been my inspiration throughout these years."
He then asked, "Do you know how much I scored in 10th?"
"Since 20 years I have always wanted to meet you again, sir. But I could not.

And today as soon as I heard your voice, I knew it was Sattar Saheb."
She even posted a video where Mr. Datta is talking about how years ago, he worked as a paper boy and her father was one of his customers. Back then, something that Dr. Sabiha’s father said, completely changed his outlook on life and made him the person he is today.
Hats of to his spirit and attitude. pic.twitter.com/f44PFfkOs7

Kudos to Sketchers also for providing opportunity to this man without judging him based on his past work.

I must also mention that the young guy is one of the rarest people. Why? Because people generally forget others’ help with time and many become ungrateful, too. But, this guy, definitely, hasn’t. ☺️
This reminds me of the one scene in the movie “Boyhood”. The woman in the film also tells a plumber to go and get education, saying that he is smart. Years later,he becomes a hotel manager and reminds that woman of how she helped him just by saying a simple line…

Nice to be once again getting assured after seeing this tweet that all is not lost with all the hate being peddled around day in and out, that there is still hope with humanity thriving

Sometimes, a person just needs someone to believe in them.
