Tie DisciplineA school teacher injured his back and had to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. It fit under his shirt and was not noticeable at all. On the first day of the term, still with the cast under his shirt, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in school. Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, he opened the window as wide as possible and then busied himself with desk work. The classroom became a bit unruly and he admonished them. This happened several times. When he could do work at his desk, the strong breeze from the window made his tie flap annoyingly. He kept rearranging and rearranging the tie as the class raised its level of unruliness.Finally, becoming disgusted with the wayward tie, he stood up and took a big stapler off his desk and stapled the tie to his chest in several places. 

Discipline was not a problem from that day forth.

Reflections

* Indiscipline among school students seems to be on the rise.* For effective teaching and learning to take place, wise disciplinary measures have to be taken.

Tired Dog

One afternoon, a woman was in her back yard hanging laundry when a tired-looking dog wandered into the yard. The woman could tell from the dog's collar and well-fed belly that he had a home. But when she walked into the house, the dog followed her, sauntered down the hall and fell asleep in a corner. An hour later, he went to the door, and the woman let him out. 

The next day the dog was back. He resumed his position in the hallway and slept for an hour. This continued for several weeks. Curious, the woman finally pinned a note to his collar: "Every afternoon, your dog comes to my house for a nap." 

The next day he arrived with a different note pinned to his collar: "We have six children. He's trying to catch up on his sleep."

Reflections

* Even a do needs peace and quiet to rest and sleep.* We are living in a world of too much sound and noise pollution which can disturb our mental peace. We need to have quiet moments in solitude away from the din, hustle and bustle of life.
