The Prank: A Lesson About Life
During a prank, a student stuck a paper on his
classmate's back that said "I’m stupid"; he asked the rest of the
class not to tell him. Thus the students began laughing throughout the day...
Shortly after, math class started & their professor wrote a difficult
question on the board.
No one was able to answer it except that student.
Amid the slight laughs, for he didn’t know why, he walked towards the board
& he solved it, the teacher asked the class to clap & remove the paper
on his back.
He told
him “It seems that you don’t know about the paper on your back that one of your
classmates put & the rest of them kept it a secret”. Then he
faced towards the rest of the class & said “Before I give you a punishment,
I will tell you 2 things: throughout your life, people will put labels on your
back with many bad things written on it to stop your progress.
· If he had known about the paper, he would not have
answered. All you have to do is ignore it. Ignore the labels #people give
you and use every chance you have to progress, learn & improve yourself.”
· “The 2nd thing is that it’s clear that he does not
have any loyal friends among you all to tell him about removing the paper. It
does not matter how many friends you have, it is the #Loyalty between
you and your #friends that #matter.
