IF YOU OBEY

Nearly thirty years ago, I was a middle school teacher in Kenya. One day I took 20 students, and I told them: "I will do my best to teach you and train you. If you obey me, you will be the best students of this school." They were excited.

In a short time, I realized that only some of them were willing to keep up with my training. Some of them said, "It’s too difficult." Some said, "We have more important things to do." Some of them said, "You see other students are having more fun than we do." When they graduated, 2 of them were the best students of the school. Only 2 out of 20.
