The other side

Einstein once said, “fifty-five minutes defining the problem and only five minutes finding the solution”. Yes, many of us find problem in finding what the problem actually is. By an example, I think I can help you solve it. Suppose that you’ve got low marks in your semester. Just think of what you did at the exam hall, the day just before the exam or what image you’ve been having in your mind about that subject in which you got low marks. The following might have happened:

Ø You were having a wrong image of the subject or its tutor/lecturer. Sol: I’ve been so for many times until I realized that it’s only the mind’s perception—if you think it’s difficult it is and if you think its not then it is never going to be.
The same case is with the lecturer-phobia also. I’ll tell you an incident that happened this very day, on how I got out of lecturer-phobia. Our lecturer for ICT( Information Coding Techniques), Ms.Bharathi, told us today to just give an intro’ of ourselves. We used think worse about her because she used to get free hours like Seminar hours, to lecture and also she used to take classes for 2hours, even at some afternoons. After finishing telling about ourselves we asked her to tell about herself. She had told us to tell about our schooling, hobbies, life’s good and bad experiences. She told us about a bad experience of her life: “ I stayed home for 1 year because my mother was ill that time. So I lost 1 year of experience due to my mother’s sickness.” She lost her words. Tears came up and filled her eyeballs and she was about to let them flow. And then she controlled herself. I’ve never seen any lecturer showing her face in such a situation like this. How much love she must’ve been having for her mother that, at the very spell of her mother’s sickness, she came down to cry. I salute her(do you?). And, she had thought that we’re worth of her sharing of feelings. Great.
I had thought she is a stubborn woman. I didn’t expect to see the kind-most other side of her. I thought that I should not have asked her to tell about herself, but, only because of her we have come to know really about her. All the students of our class were deeply moved when she was talking and the whole class was silent. Everyone ( yes, every human) has a very touching side that we often care not to see. Ask one of your lecturers this question. I definitely say—you will surely get at least one different answer ( as I ‘ve got). If you would like to send my mam, any wishes( or for her mother) mail me and I’ll convey her. Tell me your experiences regarding this, please. And, about the remaining, I’ll tell later.
