When he told his father the truth – he failed in the second unit test as well – his father took him to a restaurant. Why? He was clueless.
After they placed the order his father took out a pen and placed a paper napkin on the table. The boy watched him write on it.
“What is it?”
“Zero.”
He wrote something beside it and asked, “What is it now?”
“Zero again.”
His father looked at him for a while and then wrote on the napkin again.
“What is it?”
“One.” The boy replied looking intently at the figure on the napkin.
“What does it do to the other two zeroes?”
“It adds value for its one hundred now.”
“Good. The point is, son, never be afraid of the zeroes in life. Even after an innumerable number of zeroes a ONE is always possible which might alter the figure of your life to your liking. The important thing is,” his eyes riveted on the boy, “Keep up the hard work going.”
