From the moment I was born, life threw challenges my way. According to my mother, I was perfectly fine at birth. But the very first night, something caused me so much distress that I cried endlessly. We didn’t have many doctors where we lived, so there was little anyone could do to understand my condition. As I grew older, I learned that I was born without brain cells, which affected both my body and mind. I struggled with basic developmental milestones. It wasn’t until I was four and a half years old that I started walking. My early school life was filled with hardships. People didn’t speak to me kindly or patiently. When I was around five or six years old, I finally got to attend school, but I found it extremely difficult to write. I wrote much slower than the other children and lagged behind in my studies. Despite my slow progress, I completed the fifth grade. However, the principal then told my parents that I couldn’t continue. The principal said I was too lazy to write and suggested I either stay at home or receive private tuition. This news was soul-crushing. So, for one whole year after fifth grade, I stayed at home. It was one of the most humiliating experiences of my life. I watched my siblings and cousins wake up every morning to go to school, while I stayed behind. This period of isolation gave me a lot of time to reflect on myself. It was a lonely and confusing time, filled with self-doubt and a deep longing for normalcy. During this year, I tried to make the best of my situation. I took up kite flying, even though I didn’t know how to do it properly. Day after day, I experimented with the kites. Sometimes, when the wind was just right, my kite would soar high in the sky, filling me with a joy that I can’t put into words. It wasn’t just about the kite flying; it was about achieving something on my own. I wished someone could lift me up in life, just like the wind lifted my kite. I have always loved reading and learning new things. This love for knowledge made me question why I wasn’t in school. I gathered the courage to speak to my mother, telling her that I wanted to go back. My mother considered enrolling me in a special school for children with disabilities. She and my sister visited the school to assess it. They saw other children there and felt that I would become abnormal if I attended. They were determined to have me study in a regular school. My father, who worked in WAPDA, spoke to the administrator of a WAPDA school, and I was finally admitted there. Returning to school was both a relief and a challenge. I continued to struggle with writing and other subjects, but I also continued flying kites. The act of flying kites served as a metaphor for my life—I had to rise above my difficulties. It took me about two and a half years to learn to fly a kite properly. I was seven by the time I mastered it, and with that mastery came an important lesson: perseverance leads to success. When I reached matriculation, I still faced the same problems with writing. Thankfully, the board provided a writer to assist me. I would speak, and the writer would put my words on paper. Despite my hard work, my marks were only 50%. It was disheartening. At that time, matriculation marks were crucial for future prospects. Poor marks meant fewer career opportunities and lower chances of getting into good educational institutions. This was a huge blow to my self-esteem, and I felt incredibly disappointed. However, I didn’t let this setback stop me. I decided to continue my education. I was good at accounts, so I pursued I.com and then B.com. My academic scores dropped further, but I pressed on. I got admitted to a reputable university on a special seat for disabled students. During my time there, I made many friends and discovered that those who complete B.com often land good jobs. To enhance my skills, I also took two computer courses in programming languages. After B.com, I realized that my true passion lay in technology. I decided to switch my career path and enrolled in a Master’s program in Computer Science at the University of Central Punjab. Financial constraints posed a significant hurdle. My family's income was limited, but when I explained my situation to the university administration, they granted me a 75% fee discount. With this opportunity, I set a new goal: to earn 10,000 rupees per month within two years. I studied diligently, even learning subjects outside my course like psychology and management. I excelled in programming and consistently achieved top marks. I landed my first job as a C++ developer with a salary of 16,000 rupees per month, surpassing my initial goal. My journey didn’t stop there. I set higher targets for myself, first becoming a team lead and then moving into a management position. Along the way, I got married, had children, and enjoyed a comfortable salary. But I felt something was still missing. One day, I decided to take a leap of faith and resigned from my job to start my own business. Many people doubted my decision, questioning how I would support my family without a steady income. Yet, I was determined to forge my own path. In 2020, I founded a software company. The early stages were incredibly challenging. We quickly grew to 50 employees within three months, but financial mismanagement and unforeseen challenges led to the company's closure. The arrival of COVID-19 added another layer of difficulty. I found myself without work for an entire year. But even during the toughest times, I didn’t give up. Using the lessons I had learned from my previous failures, I started a new company with a clear vision. With zero budget and no financial backing, I built my business from the ground up. Within two to three years, I achieved remarkable success, building my own house and traveling the world. My journey has been a testament to the power of resilience and perseverance. Each setback taught me valuable lessons, and each victory reminded me that hard work and determination can take you places you never thought possible. The road was long and filled with obstacles, but just like my kite flying high against the wind, I rose above my challenges and soared to new heights.
