| Success Story of a Entrepreneur Young Girl |
NEVER GIVE UP
This story is of young girl who
never gave up on her dreams .It’s a true story based on hard work. There was
this girl Stella she belonged to a middle class family and had big dreams,
anyhow Stella got her education in the best school even after being a middle
class Stella’s parents worked hard day and night to manage the expenses for her
education l. As year passed Stella started to know this and she started it
feeling deeply that her parents skip their own wishes and desires so that
somehow their daughter
can live a life of peace and not of tensions.. Stella was a sensitive girl but with big dreams to do something in this world she started to think a lot about this. But at that point she was just a girl what could she do.
She
started to watch YouTube videos about how to start a business or earn money. At
that young age of 16 a little girl wants to give comfort to her parents and she
wanted to bear her own education and studies load on her little shoulders, she
was unable to see her parents sacrificing their desires and paying fee for her
education and for different professional courses so that she moves forward in
this world. Stella was sincere to her and towards her education and her aim, but
one day when she shared her idea towards her aim with a group of people in her
class, they started making fun of her that you can never ever become that
successful; they started dragging her down that you are such a stupid girl to
dream like that for a middle class girl like you, you can never be on that
level … all the giggles and fun that her school mates started to make.. They
started calling her a dumb girl. It got hard for her to be in school as well
and then she thought may these people are right may be I cannot do anything for
my parents may be I cannot do something to make them special may be I am not
capable and then she cried and now Stella just focused on getting good grades
and she ignored all the people around her and now Stella usually kept quite she
had no friends to support her now. And she felt disappointed and was left
alone. As her dreams were crushed.
But
one day on 14th Feb she met a boy they met in a shopping mall there
that boy was playing with a shooting gun and his friends were shouting at his
back you cannot hit it!!You can never hit it!! But the boy with full focus hit
the target and yelled EVEN THOUGH THE WORLD SAYS YOU CAN’T IGNORE ALL OF THEM
AND FOCUS ON YOUR GOAL. These words of that generous boy made Stella’s heart
feel pumped up again and her dream started to shine a little but a little as
she was scared to fall and to be made fun of. She left that mall and at her way
home she was thinking if she can meet that motivated boy again, and take his
help but then she smiled how I can meet a stranger again and she ignored all of
this.. then the other day her mother said that Stella we have to go at a
relative’s home get ready Stella feeling depressed replied no mum I don’t want
to go there I don’t even know them but
her mother force her to go there, she got ready and went there with her mother
, her mum knocked the door as soon as the door opened Stella saw that boy
standing in front of her to whom she saw at the mall and she felt so happy and
revealed as if she found her only way of happiness or peace her smile was
flourishing herself and then the boy and Stella introduced themselves to each
other the boy introduced himself as hi . My name is Sam , I am a students at SM
public academy and My major is computer science and I research about Business and stuff , I am a football player and I live life in my own
way . Then Stella introduced herself
but she did not tell him about her dreams. They laughed together and then
Stella went home. Stella got motivated only seeing Sam’s passion about him
dreams and studies. Stella thought why can’t be passionate like Sam and then
she started to think again about her business life and something to earn. Then
one day on her 17th Birthday while she was having a cake she got an idea...
HEY I SHOULD LEARN TO BAKE A CAKE AND SELL IT!! This idea motivated her and
then she learned to bake cakes different sort of cake from her mother because
Stella’s mum was good in baking and stuff. She thought with a little earning I
could invest some thing.
Stella
learnt to bake cute and small cakes as well with icing and fudge for special
occasions she took help of YouTube as well to adopt things which she didn’t
know. Then she started up with her relatives and friends first she let them
taste for free... she gifted a small cake to Sam as well... and once they
tasted the cake they were addicted of having cakes and when they asked Stella
to bake they said we’ll pay you the expense just bake for us .. And Stella
started by accepting this offer that only the expenses of the cakes shall be
given by the customers and her labor shall not be counted. This was her
strategy to attract the customers because other bakeries were way too much
expensive but subtracting the labor and counting only the expenses of the things
put in the cake made the cakes of low cost for the customers and this attracted
the customers more and more.. Now Stella was even famous in her school she
started making cakes for her school friends as well .. and after school she
used to bake a lot of cakes and at night she used to study for her next days of
school her mother also helped her but she used to say My lovely daughter YOU’LL
SUCCEED ONE DAY .. BUT DON’T DO SUCH HARD WORK TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH AS WELL...
But Stella’s passion never listens to her mother and she continued her hard
work... Day by day Stella started taking a little profit for herself as people
now only used to come to her she started taking labor for her hard work... And
day by day after earning a little profit Stella thought of having a lady worker
at home because now the orders of the cakes increased and it was hard to be
handled by Stella so she hired a worker. She was a lady and was from her
neighbor her name was Lady Mac. And Stella along with Lady Mac and her mum
shared the recipes with lady Mac to have help on the baking, Stella trusted
Lady Mac as she was her mum’s old friend and Stella started giving her more
other recipes and tricks and tips to make cake different from others .. And
after 3 months Stella noticed that her orders were decreasing her customers
started to go for another new bakery who had full equipment and a whole new
area to sell their cakes and her sale was dropped to 10 percent from 60 percent
and here the downfall occurred but Stella was still searching the main reason
for such a rapid down fall of her sale because her low cost and her taste and
tips and tricks for soft juicy cakes were her core competency she was shocked that
why are people not taking her cakes .. Then one day she went \into that bakery
and a bought a cake and when she tasted it... It was just like her cake the
softness the juiciness’ everything as if her ingredients were stolen. And then
her doubt turned to Lady Mac because her mother can never do so... Stella ran
away to her home and fired the worker she kept asking why are you doing so but
she said you can leave my home here is your pay and you can leave her mother
kept saying Stella behave yourself what are you doing .. But Stella kept crying
and she said leave my home Lady Mac... And lady Mac left... The other morning
Stella went to that bakery and she saw Lady Mac sitting on the owner’s counter
she was shocked to see her there , and then she got to know that Lady Mac is
the owner’s sister here she kept it hidden so that she can steal Stella’s
recipes and use it for her brother’s business .. This was the point where Stella
did not know what to do now, and she thought of closing her business and shut
it off for good. She was disappointed as she trusted someone and her trust and
her tricks were stolen...
But
with the same strategy she kept dreaming... She kept dreaming to show the world
that on which level she was… and after this loss she picked herself again and
she took lessons from a professional baker named Sir Al- Ferado who was the
famous French baker who came just for lessons in Stella’s city he was an aged
man but he was wealthy, Stella thought with the amount she got from the sold
cakes she could brighten herself and her business as well she wanted to learn
and start an all over new bakery.. For two months she did the course in highly
professional way along with her studies but she used to study at night... Al-
Ferado was quite impressed with the efforts of the little girl whose aims were
high and whose routine was tough, two months coarse but Stella learnt it in one
month with her dedication and will power towards her work... Al-Ferado was a
rich baker in France seeing Stella’s will power the baker who taught her
offered her a chance to build up her business he said “that Stella my dear I
heard about you that a worker betrayed you and you have big dreams of moving
ahead just like me. DREAMING BIG IS NOT THE SPECIALITY IN YOU STELLA, BUT THE
ABALITY TO CATCH THOSE DREAMS THROUGH HARD DAY AND NIGHT WORK AND DEDICATION IS
THE SPECIALITY I FIND IN YOU, WHICH ONCE WAS IN ME. So along with this
certificate of professional baking I offer you an amount of finance to restart
your business in a small shop which I own in this city you can have it on rent
and you can return me the finance as soon as your business starts to flourish
you can pay me off the debts and the rent and after a few years you can buy
this shop as your own.. What say Stella dear do you agree this deal? Stella
being amazed said Sir I will talk about this to my mum and I’ll think on it
give me 24 hours sir.
Stella
did not sleep that night nor did she study for her test the next morning... She
kept awake with her mum thinking of it. And her mother guided her as listen to
your heart Stella my love and she left the room and then Stella stood up and
went to her bed and lay inside her blanket. Stella went early to school next
morning and there she studied for her test and gave her test and went out of
her class room she was quiet serious and she had taken a decision as well. She
went to Sir Al-Ferado and she seriously
said:
My Respected Sir I feel proud that I am
admired by you and I feel pride that you offered me this deal but Sir I want
restart my business on my own, even a single penny spent on my business should
be mine once my business starts I’ll take your help with the guidance but not
with the money or finance as an elder guider I’ll just need your guide and
prayers that’s all sir, I am here just to tell you my decision and take away my
certificate.. I am very thankful to you for your kind gesture and thought but I
am a girl with my own dreams and desires and with the ability to work hard to
achieve those desires, I want to fulfill my desires on my own sir with my own
pride. I need you to pray for me Thanks once again and Stella leaves her
institute after receiving the certificate. And she starts focusing on her
finals of school and keeps the business stuff aside.
After
four days Stella received a letter it was from Sir Al-Ferado’s assistant...
When Stella opened the letter and she read it she cry alot she hugged her
mother and cry... Sir Al- Ferado died… It was a hard shock for Stella...
Soon after Stella started her
business with her small offerings of cakes and pastries plus she started up
with sand witches and Danish pastries she had international cakes in her small
shop... And a year after on her 18th birthday Stella was one of the
best leading bakers and business youngest girl to be in the market, customers
inspired Stella as she was of kind nature her cakes cost were nominal... Affordable
for even the lowest class people of the city. She communicated her customers
herself to know the feed backs and this time Stella had her control and
observation on the employs she was kind but she hated trust breaking so she was
careful this time, Stella an 18 year old girl was prominent in the business
market because of her hard work, skill, dedication and adherence.
The
story does not end here.. The letter which Stella received an year ago se took
it out again and went to the grave yard on Al-Ferado’s grave and set on it and
she cry there for hours and thanked him for teaching so much and all because of
him she has all she wanted.. She read the letter out loud on his grave.
Dear Stella,
My
loving daughter like student, I love you regardless just like my own daughter,
I wanted to tell this in my life but you and your pride was so strong I could
not break it. I had a daughter just of your age just as willing and hard
working like you but she died at your age in a car accident and I lost my daughter that day after two years of my
daughter’s death, My wife had an heart attack and she died too with the grudge
of a dead daughter , since then every person I met was greedy for my money, Many
women wanted to marry me for my money and wealth but I rejected them and decide
to live my life alone as a baker and
then I came to your city for my blood cancer treatment but here as well I
wanted to spread my teachings so I asked an institute for two months teaching
classes of baking .
And
there I saw you... You resembled my daughter so much that tears came in to my
eyes I followed you but you had your very own family. Then the other day I saw
your work and your dedication towards your work just like my daughter you were
very ambitious towards your goals and your hard work was entitled with purity,
honesty, respect and pride. Last month my doctors gave me an answer that I have
at least 15 days to survive or at most 1 month only, they said I should call my
lawyers.. But for whom would I call them all this tough work would just fade
away after my death because I don’t have anyone to trust everyone is greedy for money I had no one to
trust and to have faith in except you my girl.. I had no one to hand over my
work of years which I did all by myself.. So I am choosing you as my business’s
successor... I have signed all the documents on your name and on your family’s
name, Stella my dear work hard and be honest as you are now I trust only you. I
know one day you’ll take my bakery on another high-level and you’ll be a very
kind and nice and intelligent grown up my dear child. Always work hard because
without hard work even an empire can drown away and fade into ashes... Keep
working hard because only hard work can give you fruits.
I LOVE YOU,
Your Dear Teacher,
Al-Ferado Johnson.
