Forget Past, Look Forward

It was the beginning of a new semester, a young teacher was assigned to become the class teacher of 26 students. After introducing herself, she asked the students a question with three choices.

Question: If you are asked to choose ONE from three personalities below, who do you think it is the most suitable candidate for a leader?

A. Unethical businessman, has two mistress, superstitious, heavy smoker and drinker
B. Always got fired from jobs, slacker, drug addict and heavy whiskey drinker
C. Patriotic, vegetarian, artistic, crime free, non-smoker and light drinker

Without any hesitation, every student in the class chose C as his/her favourable leader. What about you?

It is common if everyone chooses C because he/she fulfills the standard judgement, but we always look things on the surface only. Well, do you have any idea who are these three personalities?

A. Franklin D. Roosevelt - 32nd President of United States
B. Winston Churchill - Ex-Prime Minister of United Kingdom
C. Adolf Hitler - leader of fascism in Europe and World War II

The students were shocked after hearing what the teacher had told them. (I guess you are, too. =P)

The moral of this story: The past is not important. As long as you do not give up, you still have the control over your present and future. From now on, just do whatever you should, you will be yet wiser and become a talent with high calibre.
