The IMPACT project of Don Bosco Veedu Society, Trivandrum, welcomed Fr. Joby Sebastian, the Director, to conduct an inspiring motivational session for students. During the session, Fr. Joby shared a thought-provoking story about a man, his family, and their response to adversity. In the story, a robber forced the man to stay within a drawn boundary while the intruder engaged with his family. The man, although aware of the distressing situation, opted not to act beyond the assigned boundary. Afterward, the man’s wife expressed frustration at his lack of effort, to which he humorously responded that he had at least made a small attempt within his limits.
Using this story as an analogy, Fr. Joby emphasized the importance of genuine effort. “Exams are challenging, and putting in limited effort won’t yield success. To achieve your dreams, you must focus, study well, and approach your goals with determination,” he told the students.
Fr. Joby’s words resonated with the students, reminding them that achieving success requires consistent and committed effort. The session left a lasting impact on the students, motivating them to overcome challenges with strength and a clear sense of purpose.
