Trophies, medals, aur awards—yeh sab jeetne ka maza hi kuch aur hota hai. Jab kisi ko koi prize milta hai, toh ek alag si khushi aur garv mehsoos hota hai. Lekin kya kabhi aapne socha hai ki agar aapke paas ek bhi trophy na ho, tab kya hota? Phir bhi, aapne jo mehnat ki hai, jo struggles face kiye hain, unka kya? Yeh story ek aise insaan ki hai jo jeetne ki koshish toh karta hai, lekin uske paas dikhane ke liye koi trophy nahi hoti.
Sapno Ki Duniya Aur Asliyat
Rohan ek average ladka tha. Na toh woh class mein topper tha, na koi sports champion. Lekin uske sapne bade the. Jab bhi woh kisi ko trophy jeetate dekhta, uske andar ek chhupi hui iccha jaag jaati—
“Kaash mere paas bhi ek trophy hoti!”
Lekin, har baar jab bhi woh koshish karta, kuch na kuch gadbad ho jaati. School ka annual sports day ho ya inter-college competition, woh bas participate karta tha, lekin jeet nahi pata tha. Phir bhi, har competition ke baad woh ek hi jagah jaata tha—apne kamre ke ek khaali shelf ke paas, jisme usne ek jagah chhod rakhi thi. Us shelf ke upar woh hamesha sochta tha—
“This is where I’d put my trophy.”
Koshish Jaari Hai
Rohan ne kabhi haar nahi maani. Usne cricket seekhna shuru kiya, quizzes mein participate karna shuru kiya, aur har naye competition mein apna naam likhwa diya. Lekin kismat ka bhi ek alag hi sense of humor hota hai. Jab woh ache se prepare karta, tabhi kuch na kuch unexpected ho jaata—kabhi final round mein haar, toh kabhi ek point se second place.
Har baar jab uska naam nahi bulaya jaata, woh phir se apne kamre ke us shelf ko dekhta aur apne mann mein bolta—
“Bas ek baar jeet jaun, fir yahan meri trophy hogi.”
Society Ka Pressure Aur Self-Doubt
Duniya hamesha winners ko salaam karti hai. Jo second ya third aate hain, unka naam koi yaad nahi rakhta. Rohan ke parents bhi usse aksar kehte the ki usse apni energy un cheezon par lagani chahiye jisme success ka chance ho. “Aise faltu competitions mein time waste mat kar,” uske papa kehte. “Agar topper nahi ban sakte, toh trophy bhi nahi milegi.”
Doston ne bhi mazak udana shuru kar diya tha. “Bhai, trophy shelf pe dhool jam rahi hai kya?” Kahi baar uska mann kiya ki woh sab kuch chhod de. Kahi baar usne socha ki trophy jeetna shayad uski kismat mein nahi hai.
Lekin uska dil maanta nahi tha.
Jeet Ka Matlab Sirf Trophy Nahi Hota
Ek din, Rohan ke college mein ek motivational speaker aaye. Unhone ek baat kahi jo uske dil ko chhoo gayi—
“Jeet sirf ek trophy ka naam nahi hai. Jeet ek soch hai, ek attitude hai. Jo girke bhi uthta hai, jo haar ke bhi agle din naye hosle ke saath khada hota hai, wahi asli winner hai.”
Us raat Rohan ne apne shelf ko dekha aur ek naya soch develop kiya—
“Agar yahan trophy nahi hai, iska matlab yeh nahi ki main loser hoon. Main apni mehnat, apni learning aur apne improvement ko ek trophy ki tarah dekhunga.”
Nayi Soch, Nayi Shuruaat
Is naye mindset ke saath, Rohan ne competitions ko jeetne ki jagah enjoy karna shuru kiya. Ab uske liye sirf result nahi, process bhi important ho gaya tha. Usne dekha ki jab woh enjoy kar raha tha, tab uski performance bhi better ho rahi thi.
Phir ek din, ek writing competition hua. Pehle woh isme participate nahi karta tha, lekin iss baar usne likhne ki koshish ki. Uska article jeet gaya. Aur jab college ke stage par uska naam bulaya gaya, usse ek trophy mili.
Jab usne trophy haath mein li, uski aankhon mein aansu aa gaye. Ghar jaake, usne trophy apne shelf par rakhi aur ek baar phir bola—
“This is where I’d put my trophy.”
Lekin iss baar, uski awaaz mein sirf sapna nahi, ek satisfaction bhi tha. Kyunki ab usse trophy sirf ek object nahi, balki ek journey ka ek chhota hissa lagne lagi thi.
Conclusion
Har koi jeet nahi pata, lekin iska matlab yeh nahi ki woh loser hai. Trophy sirf ek symbol hai, lekin asli trophy toh woh experience hai jo hum jeetne ki koshish karte waqt lete hain. Rohan ki kahani ek simple message deti hai—
Jeetne ka maza sirf trophy mein nahi, balki us safar mein bhi hota hai jo hum jeetne ke liye tay karte hain.
