The Label

During a prank, a student stuck a paper on his classmate's back that said "I'm stupid"; he asked the rest of the class not to tell the boy.

Thus the students began laughing throughout the day. Shortly afterward, mathematics class started and their professor wrote a difficult question on the board.

No one was able to answer it except the boy with the sticker. Amid the slight laughs, for he didn't know why he walked towards the board and he solved it, the teacher asked the class to clap for him and removed the paper on his back.

He told him "It seems that you don't know about the paper on your back that one of your classmates put and the rest of them kept it a secret."

Then the teacher faced the rest of the class and said "Before I give you a punishment, I will tell you 2 things: 

First, throughout your life, people will put labels on your back with many bad things written on it to stop your progress.

If he had known about the paper, he would not have gotten up to answer the question.

All you have to do in life is to ignore the labels people give you and use every chance you have to progress, learn, and improve yourself."

"The second is that it is clear that he does not have any loyal friends among you all to tell him about removing the paper. It does not matter how many friends you have, it is the Loyalty between you and your friends that matter."

If you don't have friends who can defend you behind your back, who can watch over you, protect you, and who genuinely care about you, you are better off alone.

To the person placing the label, that word against the other person may cause him /her a lifetime of damage.

Don't place tags on any person that may destroy them and may not build you either.
