1. One midnight, a student alone was working very hard in a Physics laboratory. A professor was just passing by.
2. “It’s very late at night now. What are you working on? Asked the professor.
“I’m working on an experiment on Pendulum,” replied the student.
“What are you doing in the day time?”
“Doing the experiment!”
“The whole day?”
“Yes, professor!” The student answered earnestly and seemed to wait for praise from the professor.
3. The professor thought for a while and said, “It’s not easy working for such a long period of time, nevertheless, I must ask you one more question. How and when do you have time to think?”
4. Philosophy of the story: No matter how hard we work, sometimes success is still far away from us, it is because we lack one more important element which contribute to success – “think hard”.
So, remember: Work hard, think hard.
