monastery, he is required to have an audience with the master, a sort of pre- entrance interview if you will. One day, an intelligent student appeared before the master for such a session.
As they sat together, the young man
started to impress the master with his knowledge and accomplishments. When the master offered tea to him, he continued speaking without acknowledging the master; so absorbed was he in his own cleverness.
All of a sudden, he jumped up, reacting
to the hot tea flooding over the tabletop and dripping onto his legs. “Master!” he shouted. “The cup is overflowing!”
The Master continued pouring the tea,
spilling it on to the floor. Then he replied, “So are you. Please come back when you are empty and in need of my teaching.” Keep your mind humble and open to new ideas.
You’ll learn much more in the process,
and continue to develop as a human being. Think of your brain as the cup in the story.
If you fill it up with your ego, you’ll
never get more knowledge in. As Ray Kroc, founder of McDonald’s once said, “When you are green, you will grow; but when you ripen, you will rot and fall.” • When you first meet a person, many questions came up to mind. We may not like how a person looks. It’s only when we get to know each other better that we can develop friendship. Same goes for the school, get to know us, communicate and make friends here and you’ll learn to love the school.
