It was then; when I
was studying in class one. I was going to Puri in Orisha, for summer holidays with my
family. We were waiting for the train at the Howrah station. My father brought
some oranges for us, I eat the oranges and threw the pills on the platform;
whereas some foreigners eat the same and store the pill on a packet and after
eating, they put the packet inside a dustbin. A person watched all these and he
said to me, ‘beta, look at them! If you go to their country, you can see
cleanliness everywhere; because they each and every people are so much aware of
it. We can see ugliness here and there in our country; because we, the people
of India are not aware or care of it! Make a habit of cleanliness, not only at
your home but also in public place.’ Then the person collected all the pills of
oranges from the platform and put them to dustbin. That day and this day; I
never forget the lesson and always try to keep clean my nation, my earth! The
person is my father – just #madeofgreat!

influence in my childhood was my father.” - DeForest Kelley
At the age of eight, one
day, I was playing in garden. Suddenly, in the road, I saw a cow and without any
reason I ran to beat her with a stick! My father was watching me, he said me,
‘why you want to beat the cow? Is she beat you? She is not able to speak, so
can’t say anything; but the sin which you are going to do, beat you all your
life!’ The lines shocked me, I went to home and think about it. I came to
understand the words of my father and became an animal lover.
“I look at my father. He is one
of my heroes. When I see all that he did, I think, 'Wow, that's a really
wonderful man.” - Emmanuelle Chriqui
My father was an employee
of Indian Railway. He was working in electric department. He was very good in his job; but was famous
for his honesty. In his office, there were so many tube-lights, bulbs, wires placed
here and there; if anybody want to take one bulb or tube-light to home, it was
so easy! In fact, the stuffs of the department never buy any of their electric-needs
from market. But, my father never grabbed anything from his workplace; not even a
piece of wire! His colleagues were laughing at him; they always called him ‘fool’;
but, now, when I’m at the age of them, I can understand that, they were
laughing at my father to cover their guilt! Now, my father is retired, but in his office, he is very popular than his colleagues for stories of his honesty!
When I was studying
in class VI, I was going with my father to buy a television. The retailer asked
my father that how he wants to take bill. A registered stamped bill or local
bill? My father asked for a registered bill. Then the retailer said that if my
father takes local bill, then the price would be much less; but my father was
very streaked in his decision! After returning home, I asked to my father that
why he refused the proposal, as we can save some money. My father said, ‘If I
took the local bill, it was unfaithful to the government and it was a kind of
theft!’ That day, I taught another lesson of honesty from my father and
it helps me my all life.
"It was my father who taught me to
value myself. He told me that I was uncommonly beautiful and that I was the
most precious thing in his life.” - Dawn French
My father never forces me
to achieve the top! He
always tries to teach ne good habits in simple ways. Since the first day of my
education, he has been saying to me – ‘Be a good human being first, and then
try to be a successful person’! He always teaches me to be polite and humble to
others. He always makes me feel like
princes but never pampers by fulfilling my unethical wishes. He never punished me in my childhood; but he
made me able to point out right or wrong! He always says me to find the beauty
in my heart. He says – ‘You are most beautiful and precious to me, because you
are my daughter; be the same to others by the beauty in your heart. Give respect sympathy and love to each and
every creature of God, then you will be the most beautiful person in the World!”
I always try to follow the words of my father; and when I get love from others;
sometime, from an unknown person, in a railway station or in a tea stall; I
think that, it’s all for that person, who not only a good human being; but also waved his
goodness to his next generations and that’s why, I call him - #madeofgreat!
