My 4th grade teacher used to complain to my mom about my poor hand writing. I tried hard for years, only in vain, to continuously get the feed back, "Try to improve your handwriting!"
I am 25 now, working as a software professional for a company. I mailed her last week for thanking her for making me what I am now.
She replied with a post script... "Please improve your handwriting!"
"Class, do you know how many hours you are wasting on your smart phones daily?"
A quiet hush falls over the class. One student breaks it up.
"I know, Sir, let's google it!"
"I proposed to my girl friend last night, who just got promoted to a HR position earlier in the day."
"That is cool! What did she say?"
She said, "We will get back to you soon."
Why did the Engineering grad became a pilot?
In order to "land" himself a job!
