One day a teacher wrote on the blackboard like this:
9x1 = 09
9x2 = 18
9x3 = 27
9x4 = 36
9x5 = 45
9x6 = 54
9x7 = 63
9x8 = 72
9x9 = 81
9x10 = *91*
In the room, many jokes were made because the teacher had made a mistake:
*9x10 = 91*, since the correct answer is *90.* (The whole room laughed at him).
Then he waited for everyone to shut up, and only then did he say:
This is how you are seen in the world!
I was wrong on purpose to show you how the world behaves in the face of some of your mistakes.
None of you congratulated me for getting it right nine times!
None who have seen you doing the right thing and praised you for it.
Nope! But all the people ridiculed, blasphemed, humiliated and made fun of you because you were wrong only once. This is life!
We must learn to value people for "their successes."
There are people who do the right thing much more than they are wrong, and *they end up being judged for a single mistake,* and are not valued for the other nine hits.
This works for all of us. More praise and less criticism.
More love and affection and less hate and cruelty.
Let's learn to value each other, instead of destroying each other. 🙏🏻.....
