POWER of RECOGNIZATION
2014-07-30

That afternoon, we were having analytical chemistry class and the teacher carefully lectured. However, I was still sticking to my own “new habits”- ignoring the lecture and doing what I want. Accidently, I discovered a very obvious typographical error. And my original intention was to let it go. Occasionally, I thought of what my chemistry teacher had said before, “You and I are friends and we are supposed to be honest with each other. So just feel free to point out any mistake so that I will have access to improve myself. Meanwhile, any advice for promoting the quality of our class period will be appreciated. I am looking forward to the good relationship between us!” He was so enlightened that his words had given a strong impression on me.

After class, I headed to my teacher to point out that mistake. Pouring out the feeling did outweigh much more than holding it. The communication relived myself, with great happiness and gratify.

However, to my surprise, the teacher specifically singled out for praising me at the start of the second class period, saying that I was careful and brave to correct the mistake. By the way, he encouraged us to keep the appropriate attitude towards study and discover something important.

Now, look back on that, what I remember is that I was so proud of me at that moment! There is an impulse -- if mistakes are found, they must be explained to the teacher in the first time! That is more an attitude than a simple action!

The power of the recognition is so difficult to measure -- it is like lightning that provides inexhaustible power for you and gives you courage and energy to stride forward!

I am lucky enough to meet such an enlightened teacher. Thanks to his attitude towards teaching and learning, I am able to keep the positive to discover something significant.
