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 afterwards, 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.*

Teacher 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 towards 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 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.
