There lived a ten-year-old boy named Tim in a small town. Though born in a family that struggled to make ends meet, Tim was a bright and lively boy, having a strong passion for music. He held a dream that he could perform music for many people at his own concert in the future.
One day, word reached Tim about a local music competition, the prize of which was a full scholarship to a highly regarded music academy. This was an opportunity that seemed like a golden ticket to his dream, so he made the decision to participate. After hurrying to sign up for the competition, he made a plan to practice, day in and day out, using an old guitar that had been passed down from his grandfather.
When the day of the competition finally arrived, Tim felt a mixture of nervousness and excitement. He stepped onto the stage and poured all his heart, soul, and love into the music. He felt rather satisfied with his performance.
During the following days, he waited for the result anxiously. However, he didn't win. He completely broke down, feeling all his painstaking efforts were for nothing. A deep sense of discouragement settled over him. His parents knew that his skills are not good enough but didn't know how to comfort him. Tim was always sitting, playing his old guitar in the park, with nobody to talk with.
A few weeks later, a man named Mr. Thompson moved into the neighborhood. Little did anyone know that Mr. Thompson was a guitar master who once shared the spotlight on stages with well-known bands but now sought the peace of a quiet life. One day, he happened to spot Tim sitting alone, playing the guitar with a disappointed expression. He approached Tim and started a conversation. Tim opened up to him about his experience in the competition.
