After finishing university, a student went to see his old primary school teacher. He greeted his teacher, who was thrilled to see him after so many years.
The teacher asked, “So, what brings you back to see me?”
The student smiled and said, “I just got my final exam results today. I topped the exam. That’s why I thought of you and came to you, remembering what you told me long ago.”
The teacher couldn’t remember and asked, “I don’t remember what I said.”
The student said, “Sir, you said that all success depends on discipline. I kept up my discipline while studying, and that’s how I achieved academic success.”
The teacher was really happy and asked, “Tell me, what kind of discipline are you talking about?”
The student replied to his teacher, “I always studied hard. I never stopped studying or thought about giving up. I never skipped my study time. I always made good choices to succeed. I kept encouraging and motivating myself to stay focused on my studies.”
