Education of a teacher

A teacher was accustomed, at the end of study, giving a cord
violet on that read "Who I am makes a
difference "printed in gold letters.
He said every student at that time why he
appreciated and why the course was different because of it.

One day, he had the idea to study the effect of this process on the
community, and takes students back to those cords
they know who "make the difference".
He gives them three cords asking them this:

"Put a purple cord to the person of your choice by
saying why it makes a difference for you, and give
two for it to submit a itself and so
on. Let me then a report of the results. "

One student goes, and will give it to her boss
(because he worked part-time) a pretty grumpy guy, but
he appreciated.
"I admire you so much for everything you do,
for me you are a true creative genius and a just man.
Would you like me to hang this purple cord to your jacket
as a token of my gratitude? "

The boss is surprised, but replies, "Well, uh, yes,
sure ... "

The boy continues "And are you willing to take two other
purple beads to give them to someone who makes all the
difference to you, as I do? That's a
investigation we are conducting at the University. "

"Okay"

And that's our man who comes home at night, the cord

the jacket. He said goodnight to his 14 year old son, and tells him:

"It happened to me a funny thing today. One of my employees

gave me a purple cord on which it is written, you can see,

"Who I am makes a difference." He gave me another

to give to someone who means a lot to me.

The day was hard, but coming back I thought that there

a person, alone, to whom I should desire to return it.

You see, I often yell because you do not work

enough, you think only go out with your friends and your

room is a perfect mess ... but tonight I wanted to tell you

you're very important to me. You doing with your mother, any

the difference in my life and I want you to accept this cord

purple as a token of my love. I can not tell you enough, but

you're a great guy! "

He had just finished her son starts to cry, cry,

his whole body shaking with sobs.

His father takes him in her arms and said "OK, it's going ...

Is what I have said something that hurt you? "

"No but .. sniff ... Dad ... I decided to kill myself

tomorrow. I had planned it all because I was sure you

did not love me despite my best efforts to please you.

Now everything has changed ... "
