The best of my life lessons
Tomorrow was going to be a dull day for me.
Although I knew it, I couldn’t do anything about it.
If I only had the power to fast forward and skip tomorrow, I wondered.
My sister interrupted my deep thinking mode asking, What’s wrong?
I said, “My name is going to be called out in front of the whole school tomorrow morning. My teacher is planning to award the five toppers of the class.”
She didn’t get it, shook her head: “So?”
I continued, “Well, I am in fifth place. I can’t imagine showing up in the assembly with such embarrassment. Anyway, who even cares about the 5th position?”
She laughed so hard. Is this all you have been thinking? Try this instead: “You are not the 5th. You are the first of the remaining 50 students.”
Now, that flip in the context was enough for a sixth-grader to look forward to the next day with excitement.
When the morning arrived, I waited eagerly for the moment. When it was my turn, the entire school cheered for me through the walk to the stage until I received the prize.
The principal was confused for a moment. She even reconfirmed the winners called were not in the descended ranking order.
Never underestimate the power of tomorrow.
You never know what is in store for you!
Which tomorrow of yours became the best day in your memory?
