HARD WORK AND HONESTY:
While going home....on the way i saw this guy selling oranges in the middle of the road in such heat and high temperature . he was literally in sweats while pulling and pushing his big cart to and fro the road selling his oranges.And i felt bad and really wanted to buy his fruits because i realized that we in the under developed country still have people selling food and fruits on the road because they are unable to afford a shop , they only farm whole day and sell their goods on the road. so why not buy from these people than buying from a big supermarket where the fruits are overpriced. In Pakistan there are so many cart seller and i hope that other people could support their hard work.
So was the fruit worth it?
well...........
IT WAS THE BEST GODDAMN ORANGE EVER!!!
im not honey potting any of my words to make my blog more supportive but i swear to god the oranges i ate and bought from this old guy was more juicy and delicious than i have ever eaten from the supermarket.
so...............
i asked him where does he farm his fruits?
he was like my 2 brothers and him own a small farm near their house and every year in winter they farm oranges and sell them and also different other fruits in other climate. and he told me his house was like 4 miles away and he pushed his cart this far.
so the last question i asked him was ......
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT SUCCESS AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
and he told me the most beautiful words i heard in my life.he said,:
''To me success is when i work hard to do anything legal to make money without any cheating and to sleep with a peaceful heart even though i am poor but at least i have a clear mind about life and this world is just a test from god only reason to live is to help others and work hard till the end of the day ''
in the end it just makes me realize that some people with good and pure heart also exist who are innocent and hard working.

Hello @basham
It is not a coincidence that this is the second post I am reading on seeing the other side of the world we live in. The first is @thatindianlady post about two poor children in a town in India followed by your post. This exposure will make each and every one of us to be more greatful to God for the privilege we have. The truth is we are no different from those on the other side, we only enjoy grace.
Regarding your submission on hard work, yes! It pays to work hard but it is more profitable to work smart. Working smart collaborates your hard work and turn it to success. Most successful people does not only work hard, they combine it with working smart. My mentor once said;
That my friend is what I called working smart.
Yours truly, @kingsolo
you are 100% right
but due to lack of education in underdeveloped countries
people just work really hard than working smart so
EDUCATION plays a major role in making a successful society
