Man—The Master of his own Destiny
Raju was a little boy who was born in a poor family. He wanted to get educated but his financial condition
did not allow him to do so. He remained illiterate and so did not have any means of earning. He took to
pickpocketing and small thievery. One day, he was caught red-handed for pick-pocketing. Since he was
only thirteen, he was sent to juvenile prison where he was forced to do lessons. He had no interest in
them and the compelling behaviour of the prison-people made him sullen and rebellious. It was only
during the recreation hour that he seemed to be his normal self. One day he watched a French comic film
on T.V. He was fascinated with the French language and wanted to learn it. He requested the prison
authorities for coaching classes in French. They agreed to his proposal as they were themselves
interested to make him learn something to become self-dependent. Raju showed a keen interest in
learning the language and within a very short period, had acquired a mastery over the language. Raju was
set free after two years. He had already decided to use the French language as his means of earning. He
became a French tourist guide and started leading an honourable life. He forgot all about his past and is
happy these days for the sudden but positive turn in his life. He has set an example for others that man is
a master of his own destiny
