40 Minutes & a Soul
Classroom scenerio:
Student A started yelling at Student B because Student B accidently stepped on Student A's foot.
Student A: He did it purposely!! I just know it!! Nobody likes me!! I WANT REVENGE! IF I CAN, I WILL KILL YOU!
Mrs Tan spent 40 minutes in the hall talking to Student A, B and some others while the rest were sitted in their 2 lines wondering what's going on.
After 40 minutes, everyone went back to class.
Student C: Mrs Tan! Why do we have to wait for 40 minutes? In 40 minutes i can read at least 3 story books.
Mrs Tan: Yes I know 40 minutes is important and in 40 minutes, we can learn so many things and do so many things. But to me, Student A means more than 40 minutes. If it's you, i would also spend 40 minutes on you. If it's anyone in my class, 40 minutes is nothing if i can save the soul. 40 minutes is all we need to change someone. It's definitely sufficient.
