00:00Teaching is an art through which teachers fill the students with confidence.
00:05It makes them feel that we can do something good.
01:01I had the habit of doing a lot of things.
01:05And I had the illusion that I would become a scientist by doing this.
01:09But by doing this, I became weak in my studies.
01:12My father was worried about my performance in class.
01:17That became the reason why I worked very hard in mathematics.
01:30My financial situation was not good.
01:37I wanted to teach my students.
01:39At that time, I didn't want to earn money.
01:42I started teaching my classmates and juniors.
01:46And someone would give me some money.
02:01My father was worried. He tried a lot.
02:04But he couldn't arrange the money.
02:06And maybe because of this worry, he had a sudden heart attack.
02:13And he left the world.
02:16And he left the world.
02:30In such a situation, we used to make Anand Papad.
02:33We used to take Anand Papad in a bag and sell it on the streets.
02:39My father used to tell me not to compromise.
02:43Compromising is always better than compromising.
02:54I was teaching and a boy came to me.
02:57He told me that he was very poor.
03:00I told him to study.
03:02He said that he wouldn't study for free.
03:04He would give me money.
03:05But when?
03:06When my father would take potatoes from the fields.
03:08I thought that I should teach such children.
03:10Their financial situation is bad.
03:12But they have merit and talent.
03:27We take a test of those children.
03:29My brother supports me.
03:31And we select 30 children and bring them to our house.
03:35Actually, the children used to live in our house.
03:37Mother used to cook food.
03:51The turning point of my life was when 30 children of Super 30 qualified.
03:57I felt that my dream of going to Cambridge was fulfilled.
04:05Anil told me about the dreams he had in his mind.
04:28The turning point of my life was when I made the film Super 30 and reached Jan Dhan.
04:35Teaching is an art through which teachers fill the students with confidence, make them
04:46feel that we can do something good.
04:50It feels very good when a child, whose father works on bricklaying, his son or his father's
04:58daughter comes and is very happy that I am in America, in London or in a big position
05:05in the country.
05:06It feels very good.
05:07It can't be a bigger thing for any teacher than that his students are at a height whose
05:16imagination we have never imagined.
05:28The one who recognizes the country, every hand is a storm.
