General

My name is moon. I am from a litlle village in Bangladesh. Proffessionally I am a badminton player. My income have come from playing badminton. I play 3 months in winter. People hire me for badminton tournament. Per match they give me some money. From that i survive.

When i started to playing badminton i found so many talent badminton player who can't play badminton lack of money. For our country badminton is very much expensive sports. One day i am going to dhaka by train and one old man was sitting by my side. Old man and i talk about many things and in the end he told me something that touch my heart. He told me " i spend my life before chasing money. And that was my best mistake. You know boy what is the real happiness is? To help others. To lift someone else. But don't expect anything from those who you help. Just help for good and don't expect anything in return. One day you will realise that you are happiest man in the world. "

After that train journey my life has changed. I found 5 poor badminton talent player. I started to coaching them. But theres lot of money problem . Lots of lack of money. So i started to a streetfood business. Those 5 boys also participated on my streetfood busines.

Many people thought that i have gone mad. People started laugh at me. They talk bad things behind my back. But my goal was clear. I want those 5 boys to play badminton as a national player of Bangladesh. Our routine was... We wake up at 4:00 am. Then we all go to the bank of river. Theres we do physical for 3 hours. Then we came to house and go to business. Then we back after 8 hours. Then we sleep 2 hours. Then we practice 3 hours more.

After some days one of the guy stole our business money and run away. I was so socked and i feel so hurt. That guy also spread that i am a very bad guy. I torture them and i use them for business. After that incident two more boys parents came to me and they abuse me with bad words. But two guys name emon and yauur didn’t left me. I remeber those day i cried atleast 1 hour. Who says man don’t cry, man cry when they saw there dream starting to left them. But i didn’t give up. I fight with what i have. I left my past. I move forward into the future. Yauur and emon started practice more seriously then ever before. Day after day they shaped my dream. They also starting to see dream like me. After 3 years at under-18 national tournament yauur got Runner-up and emon was 2nd semifinalis. They both got selected to national team. Then i feel the word of that old man on train. I realise that i am the most happiest man in this world.

After some years i open a club name

" badminton stars ". Now i have 8 badminton player and i train them. After this year February due to coruna virus we all stay alert and practice shortly. Then i realise this struggle time i have to do something for people. I started to delivery food to poor people. We cook rice, chicken and vegetables and delivery to them once in a day. I alome go to delivary because theres many risk of th coruna virus. After some days lack o money i sell my motorcycle. Then start again . After a month i feel something in me. I feel that i am sick. But this sickness is something different. I go to hospital and i admitted there. Then i wrote a letter to them . This letter is bellow.

Dear brothers,

You know guys i love you so much. And i know you guys respect me very much. Listen to my word carefully. We all have to fight for our life. Our life is always beautiful if we have a big heart. Remember if we do easy in our life that our life will become hard. But if we do hard then our life will be easy. So choose the hard step. Keep practicing keep cooking. I promise that I will join you guys after 15 days. I am affected by the coruna virus. Keep calm and plz don’t worry about me. With your love i will sure defeat coruna virus and come back with more stronger. Stay safe.

Moon.

After 15 days of fighting with coruna i am negative. then i go to my home and see my boys. But i saw there 3 boys stay and 5 boys left. I don’t feel bad. That day i go to my parents graveyard. They died when i was 11 year old. They died on a road accident. I saw there that a coruna affected man died and theres just 3 people near of his dead body. Then i hear that who died on Coruna virus the dead body don't affect any virus. But relative,friends no one come close to the dead body. Then i decided something. I started to wash dead body and clean them and cover with shroud clothes. My 3 boys cook and deliver to poor guys.

I share my story with very poor english. I don’t have a chance for education so plz dont mind of my english. I learn little english from watch movies . i am sorry for my poor english. At 14 days of isolation i saw many more movies like hindi movie daangal,pk,kal ho naa hoo, ratsassan and some english movie like forrest gump, pirates of the carrabean, divergent etc etc. I saw this with english subtitle. This helps me to write some english.

I share my story here and I want to tell who see my story that help with whatever you have. Help with prayers. Don't expect anything from anyone. Dont care of people thoughts. Do good then you will feel good. Stay safe and take care of yourself. I am moon and thats my story.
