Story - Dare to perform

Photo: Story - Dare to perform


The professor stood before his class of 30 senior molecular biology students, about to pass out the final exam. 'I have been privileged to be your instructor this semester, and I know how hard you have all worked to prepare for this test. I also know most of you are off to medical school or grad school next fall,' he said to them. 'I am well aware of how much pressure you are under to keep your GPAs up, and because I know you are all capable of understanding this material, I am prepared to offer an automatic 'B' to anyone who would prefer not to take the final.' The relief was audible as a number of students jumped up to thank the professor and departed from class. 

The professor looked at the handful of students who remained, and offered again, 'Any other takers? This is your last opportunity.' 

One more student decided to go. 

Seven students remained. The professor closed the door and took attendance. Then he handed out the final exam. 

There were below sentences typed on the paper: 

Congratulations, you have just received an 'A' in this class.
Grade B: For those who have capability.
Grade A: For those who have capability as well as they dare to perform.

Keep daring to perform!

There are many people in the world who don't get success in life. The reason is not that they are not capable enough, but because they don't dare to perform.
