The professor stood before his class of 30 senior molecular biology students, about to pass out the final exam.
'I have been privileged to be your instructor this semester, and I know how hard you have all worked to prepare for this test. I also know most of you are off to medical school or grad school next fall,' he said to them. 'I am well aware of how much pressure you are under to keep your GPAs up, and because I know you are all capable of understanding this material, I am prepared to offer an automatic 'B' to anyone who would prefer not to take the final.'
The relief was audible as a number of students jumped up to thank the professor and departed from class.
The professor looked at the handful of students who remained, and offered again, 'Any other takers? This is your last opportunity.' One more student decided to go.
Seven students remained.
The professor closed the door and took attendance. Then he handed out the final exam paper. There were only two sentences typed on the paper.
“Congratulations for your self confidence! All of you who have stayed back and are willing to face the test - have just received an 'A' in this class!”
Moral of the story: self confidence is the key! keep believing in yourself…………….at all times!
Argue, Buy, Create........ Ideas. Realize that some conflict is good. Don't make the mistake of believing that everyone always agreeing and getting along is a healthy thing. People should debate, argue and disagree in the normal course of their lives.
