Sharp Words

Today, at the end of the English class, we wrote an paragraph.

Everyone except me finished his/her paragraph within an hour. I was struggling but still had few more sentences to finish. Fortunately, that paragraph was not that serious one, so the teacher said to me I can finish this at home and put it in a folder on the door of her office. So I left the classroom and wrote the last few sentences at a desk in the corridor, and in about five minutes, put it in the folder she mentioned. So it's no more a burden right now.

But I couldn't forget the words from my classmate.

When we left the room, I said to her only half seriously, "I always couldn't finish writing an essay within the given time." But she replied, "That's a problem. We'll have a final and we all have to finish exactly within the given hours."
Even though her face was smiling, her words were very sharp.

I was shocked for few seconds and was thinking like, "I wasn't said that seriously. She could've replied, 'Don't worry. You'll be a fast writer' or something like this," but then, realized how accurate the words were. I thought, "... But, her words are so true. I can't take back the exam essay at home and write."
So, I decided to take her words as a little kick from the Buddha (or someone great).

And so, from now on, to write fast, I set a timer and write these posts within 30 minutes or 60 minutes (if it become long).
