00:00Once in a small village, there lived a young boy named Kabir.
00:05Kabir was bright and hardworking, but there was one thing that always held him back.
00:11He had no confidence in himself.
00:15Whenever a teacher asked a question, he knew the answer, but never raised his hand.
00:21When opportunities knocked, he stayed silent, thinking,
00:24I am not good enough.
00:28Even his friends often said,
00:30Kabir, you are capable of so much more, but he never believed them.
00:35He let fear rule his decisions, and slowly, he started to believe that he was ordinary.
00:41One day, a wise old man, Guru Dev, visited the village.
00:47He spoke about courage, dreams, and the power of believing in yourself.
00:52After the session, Kabir gathered all his courage and went to him.
00:57Sir, he said, I want to achieve something big in life, but I always feel I am not capable.
01:04I feel invisible.
01:08Guru Dev smiled and handed him a small stone.
01:11Take this, he said.
01:13It is an ordinary stone, but I want you to sell it in the village market tomorrow.
01:18Don't tell anyone it is special.
01:21Just ask them how much they are willing to pay.
01:24The next day, Kabir went to the market.
01:27Most people ignored him.
01:29Some offered just a few coins.
01:32Disappointed, he returned to Guru Dev and said,
01:36See?
01:37Nobody values it.
01:39Just like nobody values me.
01:41Guru Dev nodded.
01:43Now take the same stone to a jeweler in the city and ask for its value.
01:49Kabir did as he was told.
01:51The jeweler examined it carefully and gasped.
01:54This is not an ordinary stone.
01:56It is a rare, precious gem.
01:58I will pay you a fortune for it.
02:02Kabir was stunned.
02:04He ran back to Guru Dev and told him everything.
02:08Guru Dev placed a gentle hand on his shoulder and said,
02:12You see, Kabir, nothing about the stone changed.
02:15It was always precious.
02:18The only thing that changed was the place and the perception.
02:22And you, my boy, are just like that stone.
02:25You are already valuable, already capable.
02:29You just have not seen it yet.
02:32Confidence is not about becoming someone else.
02:35It is about believing in the strength that is already within you.
02:39Those words struck Kabir deeply.
02:43For the first time, he looked in the mirror and whispered,
02:47I am enough.
02:49From that day on, he decided to change.
02:52He started raising his hand in class, even if his voice shook.
02:57Slowly, something changed inside him.
03:00Each small victory built his confidence brick by brick.
03:04And that day, Kabir understood the truth.
03:08Self-confidence is not a gift someone gives you.
03:11It is a fire you build within yourself.
03:14One brave step at a time.
03:17Friends, remember this.
03:19Confidence is not about being the best.
03:21It's about believing you can improve, that your voice matters, and that you have value.
03:28Even if the world doesn't see it yet.
03:32Once you trust yourself, there's no mountain too high and no dream too big.
