I like to share a short story. It was my fourth year, one afternoon it was raining very hard. Most of the schools around our area have already suspended classes.

Everybody inside the classroom was getting restless and was already eager to go home. It took a while before we were sent home. On that day, i could never forget what the Principal said to us before she decided to send us home. She said " Boys remember this, someday you will become managers, leaders, and God forbid head of state, do not let a simple rain dictate your faith. Do not let the rain dictate when you should go home. If you have a task in hand that needs to be done, do what is best".

That doesn't really made any sense then, but its something that i always remember now, everytime it rains.
