To everyone’s surprise, there were no questions, just a black dot in the center of the page. The professor
seeing the expression on everyone’s face, told them the following, “I want you to write what you see
there.” The confused students got started on the inexplicable task. At the end of the class, the professor
took all the answer sheets and started reading each one of them aloud in front of all the students. All of
them with no exceptions described the black dot, trying to explain its position in the middle of the sheet
etc. After all had been read, the classroom was silent. The professor began to explain, “I am not going to
Class IX General Page 4 of 4 Winter Break Assignment
grade you on this. I just wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the white part of
the paper. Everyone focused on the black dot and the same happens in our lives. We have a white paper to
observe and enjoy, but we always focus on the dark spots. Our life is a gift given to us by God with love
and care. We always have reasons to celebrate, nature renewing itself every day, our friends around us, the
job that provides our livelihood, the miracles we see every day.”
“However, we insist on focusing only on the dark spots, the health issues that bother us, the lack of money,
the complicated situations, disappointment etc. The dark spots are very small compared to everything we
have in our lives, but they are the ones that pollute our minds. Take your eyes away from the black spots in
your life. Enjoy each one of your blessings, each moment that life gives you. Be happy and live a life
positively!”
