Same question every night-
“What should I start with?”

And one day the mind gave a clear answer-
“Bicycles and children’s toys!”

There was no less fear, no less challenges…
But the fire of dreams was much bigger.

• Wrong spare part
• Mistake of accounts
• Hesitation from customers
• Not getting a mechanic

Every day a new mistake,
But there is a new learning from every mistake.

“Don’t stop, keep learning.”

Didn’t even know the ABC of automobile.

Gave them the strength to stand.
