9 Things! Ready?

It was a regular mathematics class for the 5th standard in one of the very renowned schools in the town.

The brightest student, Albert was asked to write 9's table on the board.

He started writing,

9×1=9

9×2=18

9×3=27

9×4=36

9×5=45

9×6=54

9×7=63

9×8=72

9×9=84

9×10=90

Even before he finished writing, the whole class started laughing hard. The laughers were so hard that the teacher had to intervene, but the class was still laughing hard. Finally, the teacher ordered the class to be quiet.

and asked the class why are you all laughing, what's the reason?

One of the children, still controlling his laugh, finally said that Albert has written the wrong table of 9,

pointing out to the 9th row, where it was written 84 instead of 81.

The teacher thought for a while and answered, it's like focusing and cursing just 1 tiny black dot on a clean white paper. You are laughing at just 1 mistake that he has made but not appreciating 9 correct equations,

he has written!

Are we all not doing the same thing in our personal and professional lives too, we are quick to judge, laugh, mock, blame people for the 1 mistake they do but take their 9 good things for granted!

Can we commit to ourselves that from now onwards, we will focus on 9 good things before highlighting/focusing on 1 mistake/bad thing in people or situations or places?
