Today's Assignment 

My friend had a similar experience like seagull. I had full confidence that he could do it.  He has always been a good friend of mine.  He never had faith in his abilities.  I tried many times to help him to win.  But at first he was not ready to listen to my words.  But one day I felt that he was listening to my words for the first time.  Then I saw a special gleam in his eyes, the gleam of confidence that unknowingly had sprouted in his mind.  He trained hard in the later days as if he had decided on something and for many days he tried for his success.  That effort later turned out to be a huge success.  I am still proud of being a reason to enjoy the sweetness of success from the bitterness of failure.  Or may be he turned out to be a boy who still dreams on the hillside .
