The Story of an Unemployed Life
Riyad woke up every day at seven in the morning. When the alarm rang, he restrained himself—what new thing would he do today? But to be honest, his days were almost the same.
In the evening, as he walked along the streets, he would think, "What should I do? Where should I go?"
He watched office people bustling about, some laughing, some talking on the phone. And him? He just stood there, as if his life were a scene from someone else's movie.
Sometimes, he would sit with friends over tea and chat. They would talk about new jobs, new projects. Riyad would nod and laugh, but inside, a small pain would linger.
Yet, one day he decided—this unemployed life cannot just be locked away in the dull cage of time. He thought that maybe, through small efforts, something big could begin. If not today, then tomorrow.
He returned home and opened his computer. He enrolled in a small course and set small goals for himself. On the very first day, he realized—perhaps being unemployed isn't just a waste of time; it is also an opportunity to learn something new.
And from that day on, Riyad learned—no matter how difficult an unemployed life seems, hidden within it is the light of potential. One just has to be patient with oneself.
