Question 2.
How can you encourage such people to change and become confident? Discuss at least 4 to 5 ways you can do the above.

3. Ways to encourage them and give confidence :

  • Know his mindset, know his/her handicaps and obstacles he faced.
  • Talk to him/her in friendly manner about his good qualities.
  • Give examples of successful persons who have faced the challenges.
  • Advice him/her to be brave, courageous and active.

  • Sumit: Yes, you are right, and thank you for your good wishes.
  • Myself: You are confined to the wheelchair and both your legs are amputated. What made you disabled?

  • Myself: I wonder how you could achieve such a great feat. Didn’t you feel depressed?
  • Sumit: That is a long story. Music was in my blood. My father was a great classical singer. I used to listen to him since my childhood. He was my first Guru.
  • Myself: With all your sufferings and this disability, what made you live a normal life and who inspired you?

Sumit: God is great! And courage is a wonderful thing! I was optimistic, so I faced the calamity without losing heart. Fortunately one of our teachers in our special school inspired me. He told me the story of Wilma Rudolf whose legs were crippled by Polio. Even then she wanted to become the fastest runner in the world and she did it! She practised with determination.

She failed in many races got up started again. The day came when she reached Rome for participating in the 1960 Olympics. In women’s running races (events), she won gold medals in 100 metres running, 200 metres running and 400 metres relay race, defeating all the participants. She became the fastest runner in the then world. The story inspired me and I started my riyaz undauntedly for hours together and here I am today.

  • Myself: Were there any obstacles?
  • Sumit: Yes, there were. I faced them boldly and moved ahead. People began to admire my songs and music. Now people respect me as rich and famous, but a humble music director.
  • Myself: Could you please tell me about the most memorable day in your career as a music composer?
  • Sumit: Yes, It is unforgettable that I received my ‘Sangeet Samrat Award’ from Godlike Guru Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar.
  • Myself: What are your plans for future?
  • Sumit: I will continue my service to music and please my fans.
  • Myself: What is your advice to the younger generation?
  • Sumit: Come what may. Work hard determinently. Win over your physical or mental calamities courageously. Don’t give up and try your best to get success in life.
  • Myself: Thank you for giving your precious time and talk.
  • Sumit: It’s my pleasure!
