The teacher had two students in his class, who were both named Johnny. One Johnny was an excellent student, a happy child, and always had his homework completed on time. The other Johnny was always in trouble, never had his homework finished, and generally made the teacher’s life miserable. On the PTA open house of the year, the mother of one Johnny asked the teacher how his son was doing in studies. Assuming it was the mother of the ‘good’ Johnny, the teacher replied, “I can’t tell you how much I appreciate him. I am glad he’s in my class.”The next day, for the first time all year, the ‘problem’ Johnny had all his work done, he asked questions in the class, and never once caused a disruption. He even volunteered to help another student. The teacher was astounded! At the end of the day when everyone else had left, the ‘problem’ Johnny came up to the teacher and said, “My Mom told me what you said about me last night. I haven’t ever had a teacher who wanted me in his class.” That Johnny became one of the best students the teacher ever had – and all because of a mistaken dose of appreciation!No matter who we are and what our situation in life is, we all want and need to be appreciated. A few sincere words of appreciation can make huge differences in life
