During aprank, a student stuck a paper on his classmate's back that said "I’mstupid"; he asked the rest of the class not to tell the boy.

Thus thestudents began laughing throughout the day. Shortly afterwards, mathematicsclass started and their professor wrote a difficult question on the board.

No one wasable to answer it except the boy with the sticker. Amid the slight laughs, forhe didn’t know why, he walked towards the board and he solved it, the teacherasked the class to clap for him and removed the paper on his back.

He told him“It seems that you don’t know about the paper on your back that one of yourclassmates put and the rest of them kept it a secret.” Then the teacher facedtowards the rest of the class and said “Before I give you a punishment, I willtell you 2 things:

-         First,throughout your life, people will put labels on your back with many bad thingswritten on it to stop your progress. If he had known about the paper, he wouldnot have gotten up to answer the question. All you have to do in life is ignorethe labels people give you and use every chance you have to progress, learn andimprove yourself.”

-         Thesecond is that, it is clear that he does not have any loyal friends among youall to tell him about removing the paper. It does not matter how many friendsyou have, it is the Loyalty between you and your friends that matter." Ifyou don't have friends who can defend you behind your back, who can watch overyou, protect you and who genuinely care about you, you are better off alone.

Point: It is easy to label others. To the person placing the label, thatword you said against him may cause a lifetime damage. Don’t form opinionsabout people based on what you hear until you know them personally.
