This is just a very,very short story but has a very, very meaningful message in the end. Here it goes... The professor didn't like the way his students keep looking at the clock. One day he decided to put a sign beneath it that says, "Time will pass, but will you?"

I have a funny story too about our Chemistry professor. She is this type of person who tend to soften her voice as she explains. There were times that it's hard to pick up what she is saying. And more, she always writes in the board while talking. One time, while she is lecturing, it started to rain making it more difficult to hear what she was saying. The students in the back row started to talk to each other while others from the front row tries to shush them. The professor noticed the commotion so she paused for a moment and looked at the student. We all stopped and the room became really silent except for the non-stop beating of the rain on the roof. Noticing the rain, she asked in a much louder voice "can you hear me at the back?" "No, Ma'am." A student quickly replied. "Then how come you answered my question?" the professor asked in return. Oh, that made the whole laugh class!

haha.. Well,we all know that all professors really hate their students especially when looking at the clock from time to time since it only means that students are already bored or they don't want to listen to the discussion..I know this thing because I always look at my watched from time to time when I was a student.. I always wish that the time will run fast so that the class will already end... Of course, the more we look at the clock or watch the more it seems that the time is moving slowly but we just can't help it especially if we don't like our teacher, the subject and most of all the topic of the discussion.. On the other hand, I agree to the professor when he put the sign near the clock perhaps.. Time will really pass by even though we want to stop it, but as a student we always put our learnings into chances whether we choose the chance of passing or failing.. If students will just strive hard and take the chances of passing then all parents are proud and happy.. But not all students take this chances especially those who are brats and just want to enjoy their life as a student.. Maybe, if all professors will put this kind of signs near the clock where students will be able to read it then maybe they will be realize it.. Happy posting..
