When I was a
senior in
high school, I had to take a
literature exam. On the exam, the
essay question was "What is courage?" Most of us settled in to write these lengthy
dissertations in order to
impress the teacher with our
compositional prowess. But the guy
diagonally in front of me flipped to the essay page, wrote something very quickly, stood up, set the paper on the teacher's
podium, and walked out of the classroom.
I found out later what he had written from some of my classmates.
Simple. Two words. 'This is.'.
Needless to say, the kid got an 'A'.
