Sachins face had been disfigured with deep scars

from an accident involving boiling oil. Sachin
did not like the way he looked and believed that
people thought he was ugly. However he couldnt
do anything about the scars on his face. After
talking to people who cared deeply about him
and whom he trusted, Sachin decided to accept
his appearance and concentrate instead on being
a good person. As a result, he became very
compassionate and developed a positive attitude
towards life in general.
