In a classroom of 50, the speaker asked, “Who would like this hundred rupee note?” Hands started going up. He said, “I am going to give this to one of you but first, let me do this.” He proceeded to crumple the note. He then asked, “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were up in the air. ‘Well’, he replied, “What if I do this?” And he dropped it in the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. “Now who still wants it?” Still the hands went into the air.
Now what conclusion can be drawn from this abstract? We get to know that students were still keen to get the hundred rupee note even after it was crumpled and ground into the dirt. It is because whatever the speaker did to the money it did not decrease in value. Likewise there are some children that are not able to keep up with studies in their school life and use to get very low marks and percentage but still they have values and still they are special because they can be exceptional at other fields. We cannot judge a child on what they don’t know but on what they know. The brain of a child may not be gifted enough to learn a particular subject but this doesn’t prove that the child lacks imagination and artistic power. Everyone has their own aptitude and it may not include studies.
