Well, this anecdote was during my I year Pre University. We had a Physics lecturer who used to double up as a Moral Science lecturer, during his two hour sessions. His sessions were filled with a lot of tips on how one must abide by certain social norms and on Value systems , oh yeah ... a little bit of Physics too.
He used to come up with some 'creative' anecdotes to drive home his point. One such 'creative' example.
PL : What is the single most determining factor if one has to be successful or 100% in any assignment?
Class : ..................
PL : Will anyone answer !!!!
Cacophony : Luck ...... Toil ..... Dedication ............. (Silence)
PL : Let Me explain, Assign each alphabet a number , linearly, i.e .. A = 1, B = 2 , c=3...... z = 26.
PL : Now for each of the factors you all have mentioned add up the Values of the alphabets in that word
Cacophony : LUCK ----> 12 + 21 +3 + 11 = 47
TOIL ----> 20 +15 +9 +12 = 56
DEDICATION -----> 4+5+4+9+3+1+20+9+15+14 = 84
PL : So ... it shows that none of these are sufficient to attain 100%
Class : ....................................
PL : Now try DISCIPLINE
Cacophony : DISCIPLINE -----> 4+9+19+3+9+16+12+9+14+5 = 100
PL : So , that clearly shows one needs to have DISCIPLINE to achieve a 100%.
( Well, as luck would have it I was seated in the third row as I was late to the class and the last rows taken .........)
Me (nudging a friend) : Hey , then what about INDISCIPLINE?
SIGH! PL heard me,fumed, well was a bit late to go into Damage Control mode. Well, yeah I enjoyed the view from my college canteen after that! :-)
