Julio , a 10 year boy in Spain, Just
like other children had dreams to become a good football player. He decided he
shall once play for his favorite club Real Madrid. Accordingly, he started activities
and moved towards his goal. He used to practice very hard day and night and as a result of his work at the age of twenty , he got the opportunity to play
for Real Madrid in 1963 as goal keeper. Many football experts on seeing the way
Julio played , guessed he would be a legendary goal keeper in his future career and or Spain.
But who had known what a tragedy could happen in Julio’s life.
Once Julio had been to a picnic with his friends. On the way back to home, his
car met with an accident and was admitted to hospital. Doctors informed his
waist had serious injuries and he cannot continue to play football and need
to take long bed rest for a year. This had a great impact on Julio’s mind. He
was very depressed , angry about himself and developed disgrace in his heart
thinking about his dreams and his current state. While taking rest at
hospital, he used to write and sing songs to console his heart. His sadness
came as words in his songs. His eyes used to be full of tears while he did such
compilations. Later during his treatment , doctors felt to relax his finger
muscles and gave him a guitar. He used to play the guitar and sing his own
songs.
After spending 18 months in hospital,
he came out as a good poet and singer. After next 5 years , he was identified
as a good singer country wide. He participated in a national singing event and
sung the song “Life goes on the same”, which was infamous among the mass and
became very popular. He also got the first prize in the event.

his accident, but came out as a great singer and writer. The goal keeper
Julio fame passed by and was now identified as great Singer , Julio Iglesias. He later was identified as one of the best
singers in the world. His 300 lakh album copies were sold!
The accident which had happened with
Juilo may happen anytime with anyone of us also in our life . Any failure,
accident may hinder us. We may think that is the end of our life and lose
spirit. But in reality, it may not be true – If one door closes, there may be
four more doors / opportunities waiting for us. At that time, we should not close
our eyes, keep quiet, should give our try. Who knows , the new opportunity may
give us more success , fame etc which our earlier opportunity may not have
given. Julio if was a football player
may have just entertained football fans, but on working on his new opportunity,
came up as a great singer in the hearts of millions of fans worldwide. Does
that not console his heart?
