Hi David,
It’s a matter of few days and you will be promoted to next class. When you will resume your next session, by that time I will be retired and you won’t find me in school.
Before leaving I want to share that all these years in school, I have taught you various subjects and life lessons, hoping that you will utilize them to bring out best in your life.
There were a few small things to remind such as when I told that your shoes were not polished, I wanted to say that it’s the discipline that you will need lifelong when you will grow big and attend CXO meetings. I often told you to recite morning Prayer full and loud during assembly, because Prayers have Powers. It will help you navigate the life roads when you will feel alone.
I told you not to sit in class during zero period in morning and play in ground, because that improved your physical and mental health, and you must continue it throughout your life to be ahead of all.
I made sure that you wear school uniform without deviation and fancy style, so that you treat everyone equal without any social -financial bias. I asked you to participate in drama plays, extra-curricular so that you can build upon a nice personality , learn organizing ability, leadership lessons and take challenges other than studies.
I discouraged you whenever you brought complains and criticized your classmates, because that’s what you need not to do when you start your professional life. Always look for appreciation in others that will help you to grow. I taught you to take permission before entering the class, because etiquette's out stand your intelligence. Remember good manners goes a long way.
I punished you for coming late to class so that you become punctual for meetings in corporate world. I gave you freedom to choose your favorite subjects to study so that you excel in your area of expertise and become a great professional.
I made you do SUPW compulsorily so that you realize that you are equally responsible for society and contribute by giving back whenever possible.
Above all, I wish to see you grow into a great human being who knows human values apart from Class syllabus, books and other data. I just want you to know that whatever I did was to make you a better person each day.
Wish you the best !
