The Final Exam
(Author Unknown)
A professor stood before his class of 20 senior organic biology students, about to hand out the final exam. "I want to say that it's been a pleasure teaching you this semester. I know you've all worked extremely hard and many of you are off to medical school after summer. So that no one gets their GP messed up because they might have been celebrating a bit too much this week, anyone who would like to opt out of the final exam today will receive a "B" for the course." There was much rejoicing amongst the class as students got up, passed by the professor to thank him and sign out on his offer. As the last taker left the room, the professor looked out over the handful of remaining students and asked, "Any one else? This is your last chance." One final student rose up and took the offer. The professor closed the door and took attendance of those students remaining. "I'm glad to see you believe in yourself." he said. "You all have A's."The Message
How often do we give up because its just too easy to quite or how often do we not even bother to take action in achieving the things we really want, because its just too difficult. The sad and hard truth is because you don't have enough belief in yourself. I know we all talk about this and I'm sure you've heard it before, but your greatest teammate in the world is you - your self belief system. The "A" students knew that they were better than just getting a "B" and were certainly willing to put it on the line to beat it because they had worked so hard for the exam. So too we should be with life, we know we can do better than just settle for half measures, because we work so hard at achieving our goals everyday. So believe in yourself, get the "A" you deserve and when 'quitting' becomes an easy option just keep pushing on!!
May you have an awesome week where you get the power to look within yourself and know you can overcome any obstacle in front of you.
