Your words can turn a loser into a winner

(Shazia Mashkoor, Karachi)

To sit in the middle benches was my own decision, because I don’t want to be focused in front row nor I wanted to be ignored like back bencher. When teacher asked questions, I join the chorus to answer while felt near to die when question was direct towards me. I already knew that I couldn't be first so just learn up to my optimum level, whenever I had incomplete homework I wished for a magical cloak that could hide me from my teacher's arrogant look and sometime deliberately, I drop my pencil and try to keep myself out of her sight as much as I could ....that's how I was trying to be an ordinary student....But then something usual happened. Yes it was not unusual it was a normal attitude of one of my beloved teacher which may be not particularly for me because it was her nature towards the whole class, but I was the lucky one to get benefited. She turned my confidence level on by saying just few words of appreciation; whenever I stuck in a speech, her humble smile encouraged me as it is bucking me up by saying...yes...yes you can do it! And then I proved her faith correct. Now standing beside all of my academic achievements and awards’ shelf I admit… Yes these all were just because of those kind words and humble smile which taught me a very important lesson that a little word of appreciation might workout as a spark in someone’s personality and could design a gem out of an ordinary stone. So just say it.......Yes! You can do It.!
