The Principal said to him, “Look here, son, I have been seeing you from day one. You are a good student but you never studied. I have taken care of you till now. Now, I can no longer take care so you have to take care of yourself. Your mother, a widow works hard to pay off your fees, etc. You have played only. Now, rise to the occasion and study.”These words of his principal had a deep and indelible influence on Hafeez Contractor.
