3 years ago, most people looked down on me. Whenever i want to borrow their notes, they will hand me the notes with annoyed faces. Because i spent most of my time sleeping in the class and skipped most of my classes. At first, i was offended by those faces. After a while, i get used to that faces.
This is not about the faces. This is about success.
For me, the success which i experienced for 3 years and a half in college is not only about the pointers. It is more about gaining respect from people who used to look down on me. There were times when we supposed to have test and most of us did not finish studying including me; one of my friends said that he wanted to copy answers from 2 of my close friends and not me. Well, it may sounds stupid but he didn't realize that the way he said it as if he thought that I am totally stupid and useless.
There were times when i laughed so hard during the lab sessions. well, i didn't mean to play around but my friend kept making these stupid jokes which i couldn't help myself laughing. one of my classmates told me, stop laughing. do you want to fail 2 subjects again? how awful was that?
They fooled me around telling every one how stupid and useless i am that time. i didn't say a word. I kept silent. i thought maybe whatever that they said is true. maybe i am stupid, maybe i am useless.
i told myself to try harder and show them what i got.
after years gone by, my pointers getting better and people who used to look down on me started to put some respect on me. especially those with the annoyed faces.
the morals of the story are:
1. don't look down on people; we don't know their capabilities.
2. don't judge people
3. there are always room for improvements
4. don't be a quitter
