Always be patient before you judge.
He came home from work, tired. He sat down on the sofa and put his feet up. His wife brought him a glass of water. His son gave him a sheet of paper and he read through: English 17% Biology 35% Mathematics 40% Physics 37% Chemistry 42% Economics 12% Agriculture. 19% Geography 22% Suddenly, he lost his temper and started shouting: "What is this? All the time you are on phone and TV! How dare you bring me such marks? How dare you?"His wife said: "Be patient. Listen...." But he interjected,"Shut up! It's your love and pampering that has spoilt him. He is no good and never serious at all!"His Wife said: "Oh,really?"He shouted: "No one in our family has performed so badly,ever!"The son said: "Dad, I am sorry I made you angry. I was cleaning the old cupboard and I found this. It is your old school report card, dated 27th July, 1980 sir."The man became humbled and dumbfounded. Imagine the atmosphere afterwards. Calmness in the air. With a foolish grin on his face,he replied, "Son,you don't know. Those days food was scarce." **MORAL OF THE STORY** ALWAY BE COOL AND CAM, BE PATIENT.

The holy book- The bible even reiterates it:"be fast in grabbing information, but slow in making response".
What a brain: Dad, I am sorry I made you angry. I was cleaning the old cupboard and I found this. It is your old school report card, dated 27th July, 1980 sir."The man became humbled and dumbfounded. Imagine the atmosphere afterwards. Calmness in the air. With a foolish grin on his face,he replied, "Son,you don't know. Those days food was scarce." This is exactly how most parents are.
