A few weeks earlier, I was attending this class. The instructor was giving us topics for extempore... one minute to think, one minute to talk. It was my turn, he gave me this topic... the wall clock...
I started thinking what I can say about this wall clock that would mean something and not just give information that everyone knew. I wanted to say something different, something out of the box.
I looked at the wall clock hanging above the blackboard… “There's nothing different, it’s just a wall clock, idiot...” I said to myself....
I looked at my instructor. He was looking into his watch, the minute was passing away. I looked at other students, everyone with a fancy watch on their hands…
n then it clicked me... the wall clock has a rule...
Imagine.... 50 people standing on the road, everyone with a wrist watch on his hand, everyone following their own time, everyone acting independent of other…
But then, these same 50 people when sit in a classroom, with a wall clock hanging above the blackboard... they have to follow this one wall clock. It shows the same time to each of them... thus keeping everyone under the same rule, judging everyone on the same parameter.... It doesn't care about the sex, religion or age of the person. It just shows you the time, same time for everyone…
Thus everybody's actions get linked and the class acts as a team and they make progress.
This is the wall clock rule... Everybody has to be treated equally, and has to work as a team… That’s the only way progress can be made....
Maybe our political leaders take a note of this...
p.s. What happened at the extempore? Let’s leave that topic for a while.....
