students stayed. The teacher looked at them and said, “Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last chance.” Two more students decided to go.
Seven students remained. The teacher then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have just received an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself.
I never had a teacher like that, but I think it is a test that any teacher could and should give. Students who don’t believe in themselves are just B students.
The same is true in real life. The A students believe in what they are doing and have learned from both success and failure. In the end, they become better people.
