One day, a teacher entered his classroom and gave his students a surprise test. He walked around the classroom and 1 the question papers with the text facing downwards.

Once he had given them all out, he asked his students to 2 the page and begin. To everyone’s 3 , there were no questions, but just a black dot in the center of the 4 .

The teacher saw the 5 on everyone’s face and said, “I want you to write what you 6 there. You have three minutes to finish this.” The confused students got started on the 7 task. After three minutes, the teacher 8 all the answer papers and started reading each one of them. All of them, with no 9 , described the black dot and tried to explain where it was on the paper.

After each paper had been 10 , the classroom was silent. The teacher began to 11 , “I am not going to grade you according to this. I just wanted to give you something to 12 . No one wrote about the white part of the paper. Everyone 13 on the black dot, and the same thing 14 in our lives. We have a piece of white paper to 15 , but we always focus on the dark spots. Our 16 is a gift filled with love and care. We always have reasons to 17 – friends that help us or jobs that support our lives.”

“ 18 , we keep focusing only on the dark spots – the health problems, the lack of money or the bad relationships with other people. The dark spots are really 19 , but they are very small. Take your eyes away from the black spots in your life. Enjoy each moment that life gives you. Be happy and live a 20 life!”

It was a Sunday morning on a subway in New York. People were sitting 1 – some reading newspapers, some lost in thought, some resting with their eyes closed. It was a calm, peaceful scene. Then 2 , a man and his children entered the subway car. The children were so 3 and active that the whole 4 of the car instantly changed.

Can you 16 what I felt at that moment? Suddenly, I saw things differently; my anger was 17 .

Oh, I’m so sorry. Can you tell me about it? What can I do to help?”
