Age is just a number, a 64 year old man has proved this to be true. While people at this age often think of living a comfortable life after retirement, this brave man has set a new record in the world of engineering. He not only completed his MTech studies, but on the basis of his hard work and determination, he topped the class, leaving students many times younger than him behind. Now his goal is not stopping here, rather he is busy preparing for admission in IIM (Indian Institute of Management) as the next step. His son has shared this struggling and inspiring story of his father on social media, which remains a topic of discussion on the internet.
Achieved great achievement in engineering by challenging old age
Where today’s generation is afraid of new technology and the burden of studies, the enthusiasm of this 64 year old father is more than that of any other youth. He has proved that if there is a strong will to learn, any destination can be achieved. During his MTech studies, he faced difficult subjects many times, but never gave up. Keeping pace with other young students of the class, he not only completed the course but also became a topper and showed that knowledge has no age. His success is an example for those people across the country who give up their dreams under the pressure of age.
Discipline and hard work were the keys to success
The son told that his father considered studies as his penance for the last two years. Waking up early in the morning to immerse himself in books and completing assignments throughout the night made him no less than a professional student. Whenever he had trouble understanding any difficult subject, he would not hesitate to seek advice from professors and classmates younger than him. His humility and hunger to learn made him different in the classroom. They believe that if you always keep yourself a ‘student’, your ability to learn never diminishes.
Now the dream of IIM and welcome the new challenge
After this great success of MTech, he has now focused on his next big goal. He is now preparing for the entrance examination of IIM to make his mark in the field of management. The son says that seeing his father’s enthusiasm, it seems that he will play the role of a guide for the young professionals of the country in the coming years also. Getting into IIM is a tough challenge, but considering the way he has topped his engineering studies, no one would be surprised if he is seen studying management at an IIM campus next year.
Story went viral on social media, lakhs of people got motivation
As soon as his son shared this story of his father on platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook, it went viral in no time. This post is receiving reactions from millions of people, in which people are calling him a ‘source of inspiration’, ‘real hero’ and ‘example for the youth’. Many people who had given up their studies due to age have now resolved to take up books again. People are saying on social media that this story is not just about one person, but about the determination that gives everyone the strength to beat their age.
A big message for society and youth
This story teaches us that our limitations exist only in our minds. There is often a perception in the society that life after 60 is only for comfort, but this old man has changed this thinking with his talent and hard work. Today’s youth, who get frustrated under the stress of career, need to learn from this father that even the biggest degree pales in comparison to persistence and willpower. His journey reminds us that passion is not dependent on age to achieve success. He has emerged as a ‘role model’ for millions of people of the country in the times to come.
