A girl and a Wise Professor

 

A girl student comes to meet a wise professor, asking so much things that she was curious about.

Girl: Mr Professor, why does this occurred…..what is this…..what does this means etc etc….

The professor brilliantly answered all her inquiries, as if all the answers had been written yet embedded behind his eyes. The girl understood, but dissatisfied on one thing.

Girl: I wonder Mr Professor, how you can remember everything in such detail!? Your explanation is so perfect, I wonder what did you do to get those things fixed as memories? 

The professor doesnt expect that question, but he seems to possesses the answer.

Professor: Hahaha, a very deep question my lady, but you had reminded me of my time!! The very fabric of the situation is so similar, except now I have become 30 years older.

You know what my lady, the answer to your questions is very simple. How I remembered all of this stuffs?? It is simply because people like you exist in this world!

Girl: What does that supposed to mean Mr Professor?

Professor: It is the people like you that keep asking me this thing, that thing etc... I definitely have 2 choices; to answer them, or to simply say I dont know. Robert Frost once admit that he cant travel both roads;and hence, so do I. 

Later on, I realized that keep saying ''I dont know'' is not a good option, because I will miss to know something important. I decided to get prepared for being bombarded with questions. I drilled every aspect of a thing to its utmost depth. I trained my eyes so that every facts that Ive read becomes an answer to an imaginary question. So, each time I am bombarded with the same questions, I am better than ready.

You see my lady, without you people, I will definitely become ignorant to things I am not familiar with. Ive seen many, even at current day of course, had succumbed to this attitude. So now,  here I am, being a professor =)

Girl: So basically you are saying that I am not reading enough, and hence, must read more to improve?

Professor: It depends to you my lady. It is you whose intention to seek knowledge, not others. If you are hungry, doesnt matter how or what it is, you will grab literally anything to fill your empty stomach is it not?  It is an enigma that nowadays people are so anorexic to knowledge....

Girl: How can I be sure Im also going to succeed as you did?

Professor: Well, I can guarantee you one thing. You will realized it when your lecturers asked some trivia to the
whole class - the class is dead silent, but you grin to yourself  as you have the exact answer, but just being shy to speak it up loudly!
