Once upon a time, in a small town, there lived a girl named Pabisha. She came from a poor family and struggled in her studies. She was not only weak in academics but also had some bad habits that made people avoid her. She disrespected others, often spoke rudely, lied frequently, got into fights, and used foul language. Because of her behavior, no one in her class wanted to befriend her.
Pabisha was about to enter the 10th grade, but she showed no interest in improving herself. One day, during an exam, she tried to ask her friend for answers. Instead of helping, her friend responded bluntly, "You are foolish. You never respect anyone, so why should I help you?" This struck Pabisha deeply, but at that moment, she ignored it. However, as days passed, she started noticing how people treated her differently. They would call her names, avoid talking to her, and never showed her any kindness. She felt isolated and unloved.
One afternoon, while walking home, she saw her teacher heading in the same direction. Gathering courage, she approached her teacher and said, "Ma’am, I want to talk to you."
Her teacher looked at her seriously and said, "Pabisha, you are not a good girl. Your behavior pushes people away. If you continue like this, no one will ever respect or care for you."
Hearing these words, Pabisha's heart sank. Tears welled up in her eyes as she replied, "I want to be good. I want people to talk to me. I also want to study, but I can’t focus. I don’t know what to do."
Seeing her in distress, the teacher softened and said, "If you truly want to change, you must adopt good habits. Follow these rules for four months, and I promise you will see a difference in your life."
She then gave Pabisha a list of habits to follow:
1. Respect others and treat them with kindness.
2. Always be honest; never lie.
3. Never hurt anyone physically or emotionally.
4. Avoid using bad language.
5. Wake up early in the morning and practice meditation.
6. Follow a proper study routine.
7. Complete your tasks on time and with dedication.
Pabisha was hesitant at first but decided to give it a try. From the next day, she began changing her ways. She started greeting her classmates with a smile, speaking politely, and treating everyone with respect. Though some people were skeptical at first, they soon noticed her sincerity. She also stopped lying and made an effort to be honest in every situation. When she felt angry, she controlled herself instead of resorting to fights or bad language.
Waking up early in the morning was a challenge, but she pushed herself. She started meditating for a few minutes daily, which helped her focus better. She also created a study routine and followed it diligently. Initially, studying was difficult for her, but with time, she began understanding her subjects better.
Four months passed, and the change in Pabisha was remarkable. She had transformed into a completely different person. She became the most disciplined and well-mannered student in her class. People who once avoided her now enjoyed her company. Her classmates began talking to her, and even her teachers started appreciating her efforts.
The biggest surprise came when the exam results were announced. To everyone’s astonishment, Pabisha secured the first rank in her class. Her hard work and dedication had paid off. She continued following these good habits, and from that day on, she never looked back. She topped every exam and became a role model for her classmates.
Pabisha’s story proves that good habits have the power to change lives. With determination and the right attitude, anyone can overcome their weaknesses and achieve success.
