Yesterday morning during the technical school assembly, I posed a challenge for the day: help atleast one or two of your companions, anonymously. Since I concluded the talk with just that one point, some of them were surprised and openly stated: "That's all??" I understood the statement was about the brevity of my talk and not the content of it.
However, at the end of the day, after night prayers I asked the same two or three guys who make that remark during the morning assembly, if they remembered the challenge that I had posed to them. All of them not only remembered it but also proudly stated that they had helped not one but three of their companions!
Now, I was shocked and surprised! I really was convinced that none of them even remembered the challenge, leave alone tried it. Though I did try it myself, I managed to help only one individual. That was a lesson for me!
