THINK DIFFERENT DO DIFFERENT…

A teacher entered in the classroom and without saying anything he drew a long line on the blackboard turned towards students and asked “Does anyone shorten this line without touching it”. All are quite only one student stood up and said, Sir for shorten this line we have to rub it with the duster, so we can’t do without touching it and all students said yes Sir. Teacher steered all students and without saying anything drew parallel line to the previous one but bigger. After that everyone saw that teacher made the line shorter without touching it.

The skill everyone has learnt that without letting down others you can make yourself up by becoming bigger than others.
