I am science teacher in government school. One student in my class was very much disturbed. He came to me in lunch time and said ” I am disturbed madam ast I am an average boy of my class.”
I said to my student ” suppose there are hundred students in class. Being average means that you are better than 50 students. Suppose you become better than average and #score better marks than 90% of the students of your class. Still, you will find that there are 10 students better than you and you would again feel #ashamed for being worse tthan those10 students of your class.”
I further said” There is no end to this #comparison dear student. I know my friend who is an #IRS she is not happy because she had dream of becoming #IAS. I tell my friend please remember you are better than those candidate who worked hard for #clearing IRS but could not do so. I always request it is good to #aspire to go high in goals but it is not going to pay you anything in life if you are not happy with your #present life.”
My student said” madam you are right. My father says same thing but with differ angle. He always tells me keep working hard with #consistency, you will surely go up. No task is big or small but be honest with your work. This attitude will give you satisfaction. It is a unique wealth which many people neither have and nor they #appreciate the same.”
I could see smile on my student face. I noticed he started remaining happy in his study @circle group. There was much improvement in his #academic performance. “
I as teacher was so so happy for my student, that I could help my student a bit in his life #problems.
Moral – Please find sense of accomplishment in your right doings, that will give you energy and motivation to work harder and achieve better in future.
