When he was done, he looked back at the students and they were all laughing at him because of the first equation which was wrong.
Then the teacher said the following:
I wrote the first equation wrong on purpose, because I wanted you to learn something important.
This was for you to know how the world out there will TREAT you!
You can see that I wrote the RIGHT thing nine times, but none of you congratulated me for it.
But you all laughed and criticized me because of one WRONG thing I did.
The lesson is: The world hardly appreciate the good you do a million times, but will criticize the one wrong thing you do in the blink of an eye.
So don’t get discouraged!
I received this on a WhatsApp group and loved it, so sharing it for today
Well worth sharing. 😊👏

We know what you say is true. We shouldn’t get discouraged!
But it’s easy to forget the advice. Thank you for reminding us — even if we remember it for only one day or maybe two. 🙂

Wow, amazing story! And so true. The bad things are so much more recognized than all the good things. Nevertheless, we mustn’t stop to be the best we can and accept ourselves when even our best is not always as good as we hope it was.

Exactly right, Erika.
Sadly, this practice is somehow quite active in corporate world. Saying so because I can relate to it.
