Ignoring the scorching afternoon sun, Emon reached the seminar address. The venue was a modern conference hall in the city. As he stepped inside, he felt a bit nervous. Everyone around him was dressed neatly and talking with smiles on their faces. There was a strange confidence in their eyes, something completely foreign to a sick and frustrated youth like Emon. He felt as if he had come to the wrong place. His worn-out clothes and pale face did not fit into this bright, vibrant environment at all.
He quietly went and sat in a chair in the last row of the hall. A short while later, a well-built middle-aged man took the stage. There was a certain royal grace in the way he walked and talked. He began speaking about health. He said, "The greatest wealth in the world is your body. If you have millions of dollars but do not have a healthy body to enjoy it, then that wealth is worthless."
Emon listened to the words, spellbound. Every word the man spoke seemed to pierce directly into Emon's heart. Then, he spoke about some special herbal products that naturally strengthen the body from within. He explained how nature could keep us disease-free. Emon thought of his mother and his own illness. He wondered, "If these products really work, will my mother and I be healthy again?"
In the second half of the seminar, when the topic of income began, Emon's eyes widened in surprise. There was no talk of investing huge capital; instead, it was about how to achieve financial freedom through networking and serving people. The man was saying, "Your poverty cannot stop you if your dream is as big as a mountain."
When the seminar ended and everyone was buzzing with excitement, Emon was still sitting in his seat, deep in thought. Just then, his friend came and placed a hand on his shoulder. The friend said, "Emon, opportunities to change your life don't come often. Do you want to give this path a try?" A strange and powerful willpower was working within Emon today. He sighed and reached into his pocket—though he had only a little money there, his heart was now filled with endless dreams.
On the way home that day, the sun no longer felt scorching to Emon. It felt as if even amidst the dust of this city, a new sky was waiting for him. He decided that even if his body was weak, he would not let his willpower lose this time. The biggest challenge of Emon's life was about to begin.
