Prab wakes with the first light, his thin blanket tangled around his legs. His mother quietly prepares a simple breakfast—steamed rice and dried fish—while Prab gazes out the window, watching water buffalo plod through muddy fields.
"One day, I’ll change everything for us," he whispers, determination flickering in his eyes.

Prab endures long hours, his hands blistered and feet caked with mud. He listens to the older men talk about ways to earn more money, and his mind races with ideas.
Somchai, a kind neighbor with a mischievous smile, notices Prab’s intensity.
"Prab, you work harder than anyone here. Why don’t you come help me at the market this weekend? You’ll learn something new,"
Prab helps Somchai sell produce, watching how he charms customers and negotiates prices. He studies every transaction, learning the art of business in the swirl of color and noise.
"If I had my own stall, maybe I could do even more," Prab muses aloud, his eyes alight with newfound ambition.

Prab now leads a company with thousands of employees across Asia. He invests in schools, hospitals, and small businesses, determined to give back.
